Today, Will Wright is known mostly for his life-simulation The Sims. The series as a whole is easily the most popular out of any he has worked on, and is the most popular series in PC gaming. It has a wide appeal, with the grandmother next door being just as likely to play it as the hardcore first-person shooter gamer you hang out with on Saturdays. This was not what launched his career, however. The series that catapulted Will Wright to super-stardom, as it were, is SimCity. While the classic series has four installments (SimCity Classic, SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, SimCity 4), the game that defined the series was easily SimCity 2000. Changing the viewpoint to isometric, upping the graphical fidelity, and adding many new options turned a relatively simple urban planning game into a classic that endures to this day.

Sim City 2000 was epic, but 3000 was my all-time favourite.
