From Wikipedia.org:

"SimSafari is a construction and management simulation game almost identical to SimPark, except that the park is set in Africa rather than in North America, and therefore has African animals and plants. It was created by Maxis, more as an educational tool for children to learn about environmental balance. It was first released on March 15, 1998."

SimCity Classic (68k)

mattg — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 04:51:19 +0000

SimCity lets you be the mayor of a city. Through careful planning, you can watch your city grow from a small village to a thriving metropolis. While SimCity 2000 was miles ahead of its precursor, the original SimCity still provides plenty of fun, and will even run on a Mac Plus.

Version 1.4 was the latest 68k version, compatible with System 6 and newer, including both color and black-and-white graphics, also working on the Mini vMac Mac Plus emulator.

El-Fish

phreakindee — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:17:18 +0000

From Wikipedia.org:

"Each fish in El-Fish has a unique Roe, similar to the genome. This allows the user to catch fish and use selective breeding and mutation to create fish to their own tastes for placing them in virtual aquariums. Around 800 possible genetic attributes (fin shape, body color, size, etc) are available, which can be selectively shaped into virtually infinite numbers of unique fish. Once fish are created, El-Fish will algorithmically generate up to 256 animation frames so that the fish will appear to swim smoothly around the tank.

Full Tilt! Pinball

phreakindee — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:55:08 +0000

Maxis' first pinball simulation game. This one includes 3 boards: Space Cadet, Skulduggery, and Dragon’s Keep. Each featuring the usual amount of bumpers, targets, ramps, etc as well as a big payoff for the successful completion of each table, such as slaying a dragon on Dragon's Keep, or creating a black hole on Space Cadet.

Trivia: The Space Cadet table was used by Microsoft as a pack-in game with Windows 98 through XP, but included a few less features than the one in Full Tilt!

SimLife

A complex game in which you can create your own ecosystems, animals or vegetables, then watch them eat, evolve, mate, or die.
Feel free to create funky animals! How about a giant snail that would have to eat several trees each day to survive - or a small kangaroo that would lay eggs and eat only bugs? You can even edit their DNA code, and make your animals mutate.

SimTown

phreakindee — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 21:19:08 +0000

SimTown is essentially SimCity for children 7-12, in which they build their own small town and watch everyone work, and they also get to customize and follow around their own person/Sim. There is no money to worry about, pretty much as long as you keep your Sims happy and keep resources and food full, you can place individual buildings where you please. In many ways it is quite similar to the concept of the recent SimCity Societies, where it relies more on social balancing rather than urban planning.
