SimIsle: Missions in the Rainforest

SimIsle holds a place next to other more obscure SimCity offshoot games such as SimFarm and SimEarth as one of the best of its class. I know my brain rotted for hours on this game. I still have the cd for those occasional urges. In SimIsle you can build an economic powerhouse by tearing the island apart and putting the native population to work OR you can give earth a little love by sending agents on missions to find rare animals and help save the rainforest. A definite must for you hardcore builder sim lovers. 6

My most favorite "Sim" game of all time aside from SimCity 2000, SimIsle is a fun and challenging tropical island simulation. You must manage the difficult balance between economic success and ecological harmony. For instance, cutting too many trees to make building materials (wood) and you risk forest fires. Add the neat RPG-style personnel management, and the game is quite addictive in the long haul, despite a steep learning curve that may prove too daunting to beginners, and some cumbersome interface designs. Two thumbs up! Note: the download here is the rare Windows 95 version, which features a much faster game engine and interface than the clunky DOS version.
