Learn about the SimCity Practice scenario, including its goal of building a city of 30,000 in five years. Note: Practice cannot be beaten on the NES prototype due to a bug.
When you start the practice scenario, you will see two introductory text screens. The first welcomes you to SimCity, explaining that you are the mayor responsible for land zoning, budget adjustments, crime rates, traffic, pollution, and other city management elements. The goal is to build a city with a population of 30,000.
The second screen informs you that you can see the entire map (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) by pressing the B button and the control pad simultaneously.
Warning: Due to a bug in the game, the Practice scenario cannot be beaten on the NES prototype.
- Pay attention to the introductory text screens for key information about gameplay and controls.
- Remember the specific population goal (30,000) and time limit (five years).
