The SimCity series is a video game series dedicated to open-ended city-building and urban simulation. It was created by Will Wright at Maxis and published its first game in the series in 1989. The series continues to be released under the publisher Electronic Arts after Maxis was bought out by EA in 1997.
SimCity has had unprecedented success and is considered by many to be the founder of the modern city-builder genre among PC games, and is also considered to be the inspiration for many other games, such as the Tropico, Cities XL, and City Skylines series, as well as the Facebook game, CityVille.
