Check Out Some Prototype NES SimCity Gameplay
Many game enthusiasts are aware of the SNES SimCity game - but there was also an 8-bit NES version planned that didn't really see a lot of time in the public eye. Until now! The Video Game History Foundation has a great video showing off the game lost to time. It's impressive just how much of the SimCity flavor and feel fits into an 8-bit infrastructure.
Check out the video below to see the game in action and read more about the game and how The Video Game History Foundation acquired the footage here. For even more on SimCity, check out our podcast this week for an interview with Will Wright!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
