The news tickers tended to have clever headlines, but become exhausted fairly quickly, whereas the newspapers had predictable, even serious headlines and funny madlib text, which is I think what gives them more staying power.įred Haslam, Debra Larson, and Chris Weiss are credited with writing the content for the newspapers.
Later SimCity games would use news tickers, but I miss the extra bit of narrative connection you get with your citizens when you read an interview with them, even one constructed out of absurd templates. It was the first game I bought with my own money and it will always have a special place in my heart, along with that awesome music played with grainy, low bitrate 90's samples. The absurdity of the word swaps and the tone of the templates fit in well with the rest of Maxis’s trademark humor. SimCity 2000 is the only one I'm certainly not going to sell. for computers running the Apple Macintosh and MS-DOS operating systems. The templates frequently correspond to the current state of your city, with a few international news items thrown in. SimCity 2000 (SC2K) is a simulation/city building computer game and the second. The articles are clearly generated from templates, with liberal word substitutions.
Every city has between one and six newspapers that are updated every month with new stories about the city. Simcity 2000 doesn’t just have terrain generation.
