Back from the beyond

Post – February 9, 2002

I’ve played most of the Sim games – SimCity (all versions), The Sims, etc. They were interesting, but my interest usually fell off pretty sharply after the first few “that’s cool” times playing them. The Sims moves too fast, and you spend too much time making sure that your little fella goes to the bathroom and doesn’t burn the house down to make it all that fun. SimCity I always found too complicated.

Well, now I’m seriously addicted to SimGolf, a collaboration between Sid Meier of Civilization fame and Maxis. And I don’t even like golf. The best thing about it is it doesn’t drown you in all kinds of detail right off the bat. Building a course is amazingly fun, and you get to see the little SimGolfers enjoying the course as you go along. Plus there are different environments: desert, coastal, tropical, and my favorite – “links,” which emulates European courses.

Highly recommended, especially if you liked other Sim games.
