You are the mayor of a new city. Build your city from the ground up by setting residential, commercial and industrial districts, and provide them with transport links, power and facilities.

Your aim is to sustain a happy city within your budget. Set taxation each year to bring in more money, and spend it wisely on ensuring your citizens have enough places to work, and aren't choked by crime, pollution or traffic. The better your city is, the bigger it will grow.

You are helped along the way by your assistant, Dr. Wright, based on Sim City creator Will Wright.
