Summary: Better to buy them seprately
Review: I'll give you a short rundown on the games:Sim City- crap. It sucks and the music gets on your nerves. Get 3000 it's nuff. 0/5 Sim Tower- Good, one of my faves but really hard. 4/5 Sim Isle. Crap. It doesn't come with an instruction manual and you can't work it out yourself. 0/5 Sim Safari- Babyish spings to minds. 0.5/5 Streets of Sim City- Now this, is awesome, nuff, excellent, I can't say enough good words about it. Most Sim sequels to Sim City are unmercifully easy, but this one you need a working brain and good reflexes. You also need to- and this is important- USE YOUR EYES and READ WHAT EACH LEVEL TALKS ABOUT. You can be a lot of different people in this CD. You can be a car racer, You can be an advisor to a mad Granny and aliens, you can be a delivery person, and you can be a secret agent against enemy police. My sisters didn't know all this so they didn't understand it all, but I did. Trust me, read this, and you can't go wrong. 5/5. I'd give it a lot more if I could. Sim Copter- Well, I couldn't play it by keyboard because I couldn't get into the helicopter, and I couldn't play it by joystick because the person kept moving in circles. 1.5/5. So, an average of

Summary: A Fab Collection...
Review: If your a parent or a kid, get this if you've got a wide variety of tastes in games. Two classic building games, Sim City and Sim Tower are addictive, while Sim Isle and Sim Safari and just fun to watch and play around with. Streets Of Sim City and Sim Copter I'd reccommend for guys, or girls who like action games. If you've got a boy and a girl in the house, I really reccomend this set of fab games!

Summary: Good and the bad...
Review: In this collection, Maxis has bundled together some of their least popular titles. All of them are classics, however! When SimCopter was first released, it sold for thirty dollars in stores, and it's still a pretty good game--especially if you have SimCity. That one game alone makes this bundle a great purchase! Don't forget about Streets of SimCity--it's a similar game to SimCopter, except you're driving cars through your Cities, not flying a 'copter. I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys the Sim games, or who's just starting out with simulation games.

Summary: Consider alot before buying this item.
Review: It says that it is a great product but it's not really. It's not as good as it seems. Most of the games are boring except for Sim Safari. You may just want to consider buying Sim Safari alone if that's what you want. None of the other games are fun at all! Beleive me I've played them!

Summary: Sim good stuff
Review: It wouldn't surprise me if you already owned at least two of these games. The SIMS is an ever-growing, popular franchise where you, the gamer, generally build your own populations and manage them. This pack exhibits some of the finest creations from Maxis, even if they are out-dated titles. Sim City Classic and Sim Tower alone are enough to buy this bundle. The other games seem to be just "added bonuses." If you like Maxis games, then you should already be ordering these. If you haven't played Maxis games before, but you like the idea of building a community from scratch and keeping it alive, then this is the best way to start. Except all Sim games come with one downside: they never... ever... end. And once you've reached the boundary limits, there's nothing left to do. Well, then: start over!

Summary: The Best of the Best!!!!!
Review: It's hard to find fun games these days that don't have too much violence, profanity, or immorality. I just like a simple, fun, classic game. Sim Mania has them all: Sim City, where you play the mayor, Sim Tower, where you manage a skyscraper, Sim Isle, where you protect a tropical paradise, Sim Copter, where you fight crime and UFOs in a city, and more. They are great!!!!
I can't believe you can't find these in stores anymore, but I recommend them!!!

Summary: Cheap Fun
Review: Retro gamming is not for everyone. I like to play old games, well, because I just have a problem with nostalgia. If you your not worried about graphics and you want to explore the early years of the "SIMS" universe, then it would not hurt to drop a couple of bucks for this pack of games. Be warned, I could not get all of the games to run on my system, which is still 6 months away from not being modern anymore. But since the price was reasonable I still felt it was worth the three games I was able to run. The original Sim City is just stupid fun. It's so easy to build a quick city and it's still easy to fail. This is a no frills, time killing game. Sim Copter was by far my favorite. Talk about a game that had so much potential, but it still turned out to be fun to play. Maxis should have gone out of house on this one, like to MICROPROSE (while they lasted). The people inhabiting the cities are like the original "Sims" and funny to hear where I think the simesse language came from considering what's it's evolved to today. Sim Tower was a dirty little pleasure. Who thought that building and office tower with apartments, restaurants, movie theaters, etc. could be soo much fun?! Sim Island, just throw it away when you open the box. Like I said, the game only costs a few bucks so why not give it a try. Worst case is you loose a few dollars from what you paid when you sell to the pawn shop.

Summary: Two Of The Best SIM Games Alone Make This Worthwhile
Review: Sim City (now called Sim City Classic) and Sim Tower alone are worth the price of admission. Sim City was the one of the first of its kind when it came out in the 80s and is good in unleashing the creative spirit in the user. Of course, it is much simpler than Sim City 2000 and Sim City 3000 but its charm lies in its simplicity. You can direct the game in a number of different ways, by being cost effective, or by trying to increase the population, or by trying to increase your mayoral effectiveness rating. It is interesting to see how small changes affect the city as a whole. I spent countless hours with this game in the 8088 days and the concepts are still sound today. Sim Tower is the other great game to be found in this set. The concept grew from a Japanese elevator game where the gamer is challenged to create an efficient elevator system for a highrise. The game takes that concept a step further by challenging us to create an efficient, moneymaking, multipurpose highrise structure. Again, this is a game which you can take in a number of different directions and there are a handful of surprises to be found as you reach the higher levels of the game. For Sim City and Sim Tower alone, this disc is worth the money. The rest of the games were okay but not as enjoyable or challenging. If not for the success of Sim City in the 80s, the genre of software toys and simulations may have been totally different today.

Summary: Keep Sim Copter & trash the rest
Review: Sim City- eh, an ok game,, pretty boring though, same thing happens every time.. you build your city, citizens demand that taxes should be lowered, a big fire, etc... zzz.... Sim Tower- this game is KINDA fun but again, just kind of monotnous. This is kind of the reason why I don't like a lot of "Sim" games Sim Isle- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........... Sim Safari: a boring, stupid, corny, fruity, kiddie game Streets of Sim City- zzzz,, I get bored with racing games very quickly Sim Copter- Now THIS game is FUN!!!!! Look for my seperate review on this first. Bottom line: dont waste the $, just buy Sim Copter seperate- it's the only fun Sim game (with the slight exception of Sim City 2000, and Sim Tower is midly allright)

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.
