Sim City: Past, Present and Future

Sim City: Past, Present and Future is a town building-videogame in the Sim City-series.

Gameplay
You have been appointed mayor, and must lead construction of a new town or city. The game starts in 1750 or 1850, depending on what you chose, and it affects your accesses from the beginning. The settlement goes from village to town, then to city and finally metropolis.

Nature changes with seasons. You can also choose music soundtrack with instrumental versions of music popular during the year which is simulated. For example, when its 1969, instrumental versions of some songs popular during that year plays.

You can also play a scenario, fixing problems of an already existing settlement.
