SimTunes

Description

SimTunes is based on “Music Insects”, an interactive audio-visual exhibit which was designed and created by Toshio Iwai in 1992. Iwai’s original, Music Insects is a very popular permanent exhibit at the Exploratorium in San Francisco.

SimTunes is an interactive ‘painting/music/simulation’ game. The user paints colored squares on a virtual grid, where each color maps to a tone in a musical scale. Then the user unleashes four little ‘bugz’ to roam around on the painted grid. Each bugz has an instrument or vocal style associated with it, and when it walks over one of the squares of light it ‘plays’ its sound at that tone. The user can control the scale, the instruments, and the speed and direction of the bugz, creating an interactive musical experience. …

SimCity 4

Description

The most noticeable change in the fourth main game in the series comes through the new graphics, now in full 3D. The basic goal remains the same: build the ultimate city. You do this by balancing funding of community services with taxes, transit fares, and other forms of income.

But now you have more options. The new god mode tools allow you to sculpt a realistic terrain in seconds. And now disasters won’t happen in random locations, you choose where to unleash them. There are all new buildings, and the gameplay is a bit more challenging this time: you have to actually start small, the way a real city is developed, or you’ll run out of money. You can also import people from The Sims and insert them into your city, and have them give you feedback.

Your advisors are improved. They too are in full 3D, and they won’t annoy you as much. They will provide you with helpful advice, and you can listen to them or annoy them to the point that they all turn into llamas. Literally. …
