There was a game from 2000 called "Streets of SimCity" where you could export any city you made in SimCity 2000 (1993) and turn it into a map for a Death Race style free-for-all racing game. There was all kinds of cool upgrades you could put on your cars like rocket launchers, machine guns, oil slicks, caltrops, wheels that allow you to become a hovercraft, etc. Sure there were better Death Race style games out there, but the biggest selling point for me was that all of the maps me and my friends were having team death matches on were cities I had made over the years. 10/10
E) Also honorable mention to the Lost Planet games they were the first shooters/mech games I invested into heavilly.
SimCopter is probably most well known for the Yes Men easter egg: https://lgbtqgamearchive.com/2015/08/31/gay-sims-easter-egg-and-controversy-in-simcopter/
Yes! I feel like I remember the soundtrack being good also but it's probably been over a decade since I played it.
They should make a successor for Cities Skylines :thinkin-lenin:
I really hope they do a remaster of Lost Planet 2 one day, it's one of the best co-op campaigns ever made but the PC port is terrible and I don't even think the multiplayer works anymore considering it was attached to that Games for Windows Live shit :bawllin-sad:

You just reminded me of SimCopter, even though it's not the same game. Not really a blast from the past, just from the past :big-cool:
SimCopter is a treasure and the crudely mapped pixel art of the people's faces will forever haunt me.

SimCopter is also the first Sim game to introduce Simlish to the series.

IIRC the soundtrack was completely original, and songs from it would end up making cameo appearances in later "sims" titles like The Sims.

I loved the way Sim City, Streets of Sim City, and Sim Copter interacted.
