Update for all our Apple Mayors - SimCity for the Mac is releasing. For more information, please read our official FAQ below.
SimCity, also known as Micropolis or SimCity Classic, is a city-building simulation video game developed by Will Wright and released for a number of platforms from 1989 to 1991. SimCity features two-dimensional graphics and an overhead perspective. The objective of the game is to create a city, develop residential and industrial areas, build infrastructure and collect taxes for further.
SimCity is available for download through EA’s Origin service but we definitely recommend the Mac App Store version, handled directly by Aspyr.

Beginning with MacOS Catalina 10.15, Apple will no longer support 32-bit apps. SimCity is a 32-bit legacy game, and will not currently run on MacOS Catalina.
