Additionally the game provided much more realistic terrain, able to provide construction surfaces of different elevations as well as subterranean layers that could be used to run subway lines and water pipes through mountains and beneath city streets. SimCity 2000 diverged from the standard top-down presentation of the original and provided players with a dimetric camera position that could be rotated around four times to present different perspectives, as well as zoomed in on twice.

Released in its first incarnation on the PC in 1993, SimCity 2000 represented a significant step forward in the graphical and technical standards of the franchise, and the game was ultimately so successful that its presentation and complexity have been used as the basis for its sequels. With SimCity still being Maxis' best selling product despite the release of several other games along the 'Sims' line ( SimAnt, SimEarth, etc), the decision was made to produce a new SimCity title, designed to take advantage of recent hardware advances.

As the size of the city increased, so did the responsibilities of the player to maintain its various problems, and only the best player able to multitask effectively could handle all of the various issues at one time. The ultimate point of the game was to build and maintain a self-sustaining city, with a functional network of police and fire departments to handle crime and emergencies, and a happy and growing population of citizens willing to pay taxes to support the city's infrastructure of roads and industrial sectors which produce the majority of jobs. SimCity provided the player with two options to start out They could become the mayor of a new city beginning from one of several stages of development, or they could take the role as the mayor of one several existing cities though a variety of scenarios involving situations such as recovering from severe boredom, traffic congestion, severe crime or natural disaster. The first game born from this desire to create was the original SimCity, initially developed and released for the Commodore 64 and later the Amiga, Macintosh, and PC in 1989. The inter-dependency and generative nature of these factories, coupled with Wright's enjoyment of creating new maps for this game, gave birth to the driving desire to produce a city building simulation, since he found the act of creating new levels more enjoyable than playing the game itself.

This game put the player behind the controls of a helicopter in a simple top-down shooter, and has players flying around a series of islands, searching for factories to destroy. Created by Will Wright, the idea behind SimCity apparently came during the development of Wright's first game, Raid on Bungeling Bay.
