This was such a nice post to read, bringing back so many SimCity memories. As a kid, I used to prototype my cities on paper too. Mainly because I had to share our computer with my younger brother and wanted to get the most out of my time on it.

Text Shot: I took to SimCity 2000 with an obsessive addiction. I’d play during every waking minute, even leaving our family computer on overnight so I’d have plenty of money (& growth) when I woke up to check it before school.&10;&10;I was in eighth grade at the time, I and remember prototyping SimCity maps on college ruled paper and pencil on the bus to school. It was the first time I ever prototyped.
