Summary: A review of the games in Sim Mania
Review: Sim Mania is an excellent game pack from the creators of the original Sim City. This pack includes six fantastic simulation games from Maxis and Electronic Arts incorporated. Games include the original Sim City, Sim Tower, Sim Isle, Sim Safari, Sim Copter, and Streets Of Sim City. Most of the games in this pack are simple to figure out but Sim Isle takes a little more time and effort. The original Sim City is the beginning of the Maxis Sim game series. In Sim Tower, you are a building owner and a construction worker to create the building. You have the choice of making it an office building, hotel suite, condo complex, and a restaraunt facility. In Sim Isle, you are in charge of creating an island and hiring people to maintain the island. In Sim Safari, you are in charge of creating a Safari park in Africa. You get to place the animals that you desire in the park and designing the camp site. This game is especially good for those who enjoy animals and the wildlife. Sim Copter is an exciting game where you are the pilot of a rescue helicopter. You are responsible for clearing traffic jams, fighting fires, reporting crimes, transporting people from one area of the town to another, rescuing people from rooftops and turned over boats, and getting injured people to the hospital. Streets of Sim City is a great game for those who enjoy high speed auto games as well as a little bit of shoot'em up and bang'em up action. If you do decide to purchase this product, you will have hours of computer entertainment.

Summary: Some of the games didn't work.... Disappointing
Review: Sim Safari and The Streets Of Sim City didn't work on my computer much like i_love_ritchie_forever... I feel your pain!
Anyway, the games that do work are cool.

Sim City is the classic, very first version of the now famous Sim City. The graphics are terrible... but the game itself is pretty cool. It has cool scenarios and I like playing around with the options on the menus.

Sim Isle is alright... I suppose. It's pretty boring, I don't know why some people think it's brilliant. I played it, but I didn't really understand it.

Sim Copter is cool. I love flying the helicopter around and crashing into things. I also love using the megaphone. I'll play it again.

I have played Streets of Simcity. It's pretty boring. You just drive around Simcity and blow yourself up.

My favourite game was Sim Tower. I LOVE IT! I love building the tower and renaming all the people and the shops. I like the events and the cool sounds

This gets 3 stars because of Sim Tower. If Sim Tower wasn't on it, it would get only 2 stars. Considering some of the games didn't work on my computer, I probably have a right to be disappointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: OK if you know how to play
Review: Some of thies games may seem unplayable but if you dont know how.

SIM CITY: and old classec. I dont think it is possible for sims to like you and not go bankrupt. Three stars

SIM TOWER: this one is hard to figure out. I still can't get any money or sims in my towers. Two stars

SIM ISLE: This one was hard at first. I could not get it to zoom in and I had no controle over my workers. what you would have to do was go to the top controle bar and bring down the controle pannal. Three stars

SIM SAFARI: basicly your desighn a park and run it. Unlike the others this one is very easy. Four stars

SIM COPTER: This one was hard to understand at first. The only misson I could do was the trafic. but after playing with it I found out how. one of the missons is the medical emergency, you do this by landing by the injurd person, geting out, picking him up, puting him in the helicopter and flying to a hospital. Four stars

STREETS OF SIM CITY: this is your basic bow cars and yourself up game. very easy to learn how to do

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A rather good game
Review: The sim mania pack is a very good product to buy. Even due to it's mediochre graphics it is still great because of the great variety of differant places which you can control. This is also a greatprice.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It is a reasonable price...
Review: These games are a bargain, but they are old. Here are how I rated the games:
Sim City-It is OK, it isn't really that great 3/5
Sim Tower-The one game that makes buying this worth while 5/5
Sim Isle-Can't play it so 0/5
Sim Safari-Very babyish, not really worth it 1/5
Streets of Sim City-It's OK, all though it really has a low replay value 3/5
Sim Copter-Choppy graphics, but the game itself is pretty good 4/5

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Clasic and yet still playable games.
Review: These games are old and it really shows in the graphics and sound quality but in saying that the game play is still current. As with most of the 'Sim' games, they have a mindless enjoyable quality about them. If you enjoy 'Sim' games then you've probably already played one or two of the games in the collection. The great things about these games are their replay-ability. You can play them again and again with each a game differing as you build your sim (city, island, tower etc). Of the collection I really didn't like Sim Copter or Streets of Sim city, which are more like vehicle simulators than building simulators. I wouldn't even bother installing them ;0( After all if your looking for a vehicle simulator you can certainly find something much better out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great game
Review: This game is for you is you have alot of time. You will get addicted to everyone of the games! Buy this game it is cool!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Leaves all other Simulators in the dust!
Review: This is a really cool product. In Sim City classic you can make youre own city by building a Power Plant(Coal or Nuclear) and laying Power lines,Making residentail,commercail,and industrial zones,laying out Roads and Railroads,and keeping sims happy by building Parks,Stadiums,Police and Fire Stations,and Ports(Seaports and airports). I highly recommend Sim City classic to Windows 3.1 Users who can't afford to upgrade their computers. And in Sim Safari you can make you're own safari camp and park and Higher workers from a nearby village to work in you're camp. The other games are pretty fun to but can get quite frusterating since I've never gotten a Surplus in Sim Tower or Sim Isle and I've only made it past one level in Sim copter and the streets of Sim City. However, if you're really good at Simulation games i would definitly reccomend them all to you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: *****
Review: This sim game is exelent. 6 games for the price of 1 is what i was like. i didn't know amazon had better prices than the store and it does by far. I love sim tower that is one of my favorite games. I love sim mania i hope i can buy it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't even think about buying this
Review: When I saw the price for all those game I instantly bought it. Going home I went through each and every one of the games, only to find that they were as boring as watching a dead goldfish float.
I highly suggest you don't waste any of your money on any of these games. IF you've never played any other computer games and aren't expecting anything then I'm sure you'd find them all entertaining. . .maybe.
But after playing Fallout, Baldurs Gate, and Diablo seeing these measly, boring games that I had just spent my money on was not a pretty sight.
What I suggest to everyone is to go out and get Simcity 3000, because it's obvious that if you're checking these out you like Simulations and that one is one of the best out there.
