The Sims is a game which I’ve dipped in and out of over that time in it’s various releases and with various expansion packs, but remembering exactly what’s changed, what’s advanced is tricky.
Of course, since then, things have advanced even further, and the specification requirements have moved with the times, so clearly a lot has evolved. We’d had city simulations, sports simulations and even ant simulations but never really a people simulator. We were talking a pretty advanced simulation, especially for that era. Aish!īack then I had an AMD K6 Processor with some kind of Diamond Edge video card, which wasn’t a bad combination at the time, but the original game still took an age to load and wasn’t the smoothest experience in the world. Come to think of it, that’s still 16 years ago now.
The Sims feels like it’s been with us for a lifetime, back well into the 90s, but the original game didn’t actually arrive until February 4th 2000….
