Will Wright: Games and Simulation ➶

There is so much to learn from listening to The Sims and SimCity creator Will Wright speaking about video games.

I have never played The Sims, and probably should. I love that one of its working titles was Tactical Domestic Simulator.

SimCity 2000 will always be special for me, with fond memories of attempts to make cities with lots of trees during a difficult time of transit in my life.
