You no doubt remember at least one of the Sim games. Old school folks remember Sim City. Heck, you could play that thing on a Mac Classic. No one has more fond memories of the original Sim City than MG Siegler. To wit:

No game captured my imagination when I was growing up like SimCity. Certainly, a part of it was my God complex, but more it was the open-ended nature of a game with few rules that let you build a city. I spent countless hours on my computer playing it, I even spent countless hours on the Super Nintendo playing it when it was ported to that console. Now it’s coming to the iPhone — countless hours will be lost again.

We’re not talking first person shooter or MMO game, we’re talking about a game that put you in the position of a city planner. I mean it was exciting and all for awhile but then, just like city planning, a lot of the fun went of it and it started to feel just like work. Well, for me anyway. Mr. Siegler is planning on wasting hour upon hour on the game yet again which. he says, is due in December for $9.99. Read SimCity for the iPhone may ruin my life (in a good way) for the complete preview and some interesting observations on the iPhone insidiously eating away at the Nintendo DS.

Now if only we can get Scarab of Ra and Glider on the iPhone we can all relive the gaming capabilities of the Motorola 68000.
