When I was a kid, probably about 8 or 9, I didn't have any consoles, so all my games were on PC. The coolest game to me was a 3-way-tie between Sim City 2000, Streets of Sim City, and Sim Copter. This was because of the fact that you could build a 2d city in SC2K and then play in the other two games in a 3d environment. I wasted a good amount of time in my childhood just building cities and screwing around in them. I'm kind of sad now because Sim Copter and Streets of Sim City aren't compatible with Windows 8 because I actually almost bought them because I needed a nostalgia trip. They should be remade.

Sim Copter Dream May 3

I was playing Sim Copter but as usual, I was actually inside the game with all its low resolution splendor. As the standard looking pilot, I had to fly around rescuing people from a burning building. In terms of texture and mesh, it looked fairly typical except for that it also had some fairy-tale like turrets. I kept on picking up people but they kept on falling out of my copter back to the burning building. Suddenly, it switches to being a still picture and this girl holding tons of Rubik's cubes in two layers with a crazed expression on her face appears above the burning building.

That transition honestly makes no sense.

Ever hear about the Easter Egg in this game where, on 'certain dates', men in speedos run around and start kissing each other? The man behind this stunt, a gay and disgruntled Maxis employee named Jacques Servin, was later fired from the company following the discovery after release. Later, he went on to be one of the founding members of the The Yes Men, a culture jamming activist group.
