SimCity (USA) (Proto)

SimCity (USA) (Proto) NES is an unreleased prototype version of the legendary city-building simulation game for the NES console. In this game, players assume the role of mayor, responsible for planning, constructing, and developing a metropolis from scratch.

The core gameplay revolves around managing different zones: Residential, Commercial, and Industrial areas. Players need to strategically place these zones to meet the demands of citizens and businesses. Connecting these areas with roads and an efficient transportation system is crucial. Furthermore, providing electricity through power plants and power lines is a key element for the city to function.

Players must also manage the city's budget, collecting taxes from residents and businesses, while spending on public services such as police, fire departments, schools, and hospitals. The goal is to maintain a high level of citizen satisfaction and ensure sustainable economic growth. The game also includes random events and disasters like floods, fires, or monster attacks, requiring players to react quickly to minimize damage and rebuild the city.

As a prototype version, SimCity on NES might feature some minor differences or unfinished elements compared to the more famous SNES release. However, it still retains the core spirit of the SimCity series: offering a creative and complex management experience where every decision made by the player impacts the development and prosperity of their city.
