STUDIES IN POPULAR CULTURE 25.3 In SimCity, for example, one of the first widely popular utopian computer games, players develop uninhabited terrain into complex metropolises by building infrastructure, making zoning decisions, and providing services and recreation for inhabitants, among other things. There are other reasons why SimCity was so widely popular, of course: it is easy to learn, its graphics are as good if not better than those of other games on the market in the late 1980s, and it is open-ended--it never plays the same way twice. As Bruce Shelley indicates in the Manual for Sid Meier’s Civilization, “Civilization casts you in the role of the ruler of an entire civilization through many generations from the founding of the world’s first cities 6,000 years in the past to the imminent colonization of space. pcasacas.org /SPC/spcissues/25.3/Henthorne.htm   (3933 words)

Baltimore Online - November 2001 Named one of the nation’s 25 “Game Gods” by PC Gamer magazine, Reynolds has designed some of the best-selling games of all time, including Colonization, Civilization II, and Alpha Centauri, which were marketed under the name of veteran game developer Sid Meier, a sort of George Washington of computer games.
