I got introduced to simcity, with SC2k, from my tech class in middle school. (SC3k was already out by than, and 4 that year)
It wasn't a lesson plan though, just a game the teacher installed on the computers for us to play when we're done with our projects. He even said he would burn a copies for anyone who wanted. lol at schools for teaching us, we don't need to pay for software, at a young age.
LGR should become a tech teacher. Hes already teaching us a lot about computer history.

-farthead4321 not all collectors care about the money value of something. a lot of them want to use what they paid for and get to you know. enjoy it. as long as they keep it and it remains in their ownership, its still a collectable to them. you cant appreciate something to the fullest if you dont use it. so those who keep games in the wrapping just arent appreciating it properly, games were designed to be played. also, playing a rare game and knowing what its like is great for the history

Thanks for the video, quite interesting stuff. Wish I'd had this in my school. I could have played Sim City and called it homework: D
I'm wondering, were there many other big games like this that had educational versions made of them? Is this a trend that continued to this time or was it a short-lived thing? I can't think of many games these days that might have special classroom editions. Maybe Civilization for history class or something. That would be cool.

-Borin81 I don't know how widespread it was, but I have heard from several people who remember SimCity being used in the classrooms in the US and even the UK. I know some of my local schools and libraries used SimCity and SimAnt from time to time, but I never heard of this -school edition- version until I saw it in the Maxis Software Toys catalogs. It certainly never reached the popularity of games like The Oregon Trail in the classroom.

After seeing the full review (after recoiling in shock at the opening which was both heartwrenching and cool, I noticed: Hey, you can do a lot of cool stuff with just 16 colors. That actually looked pretty detailed. Then again I only ever played some of the original SimCity versions. And the clickety-click sound of a floppy drive, along with that crackling memory-access sound gets my nostalgia going every time.

Tech teachers were usually the coolest and most laid back. I remember our tech final project was building a maglev car powered by a small on-board fan. I think mine was one of two or three that actually even worked. One of the modules we worked on was basic AutoCAD, which begot the biggest meme of that year.

Whoa! Didn't know that there were educational versions of some games, including Sim friggin' City.
Nice elevator music at the beginning.
Let me guess, you take elevators just for the music? :P
By the way, I always wondered. how do you have so much room for so many Computers? oO

my high school computer lab teacher had SimCity 2000 installed on all the computer labs computers. I think we only got to play it one month as part of the curriculum. The rest of the semester was AutoCAD, Dreamweaver, and other learning software

Well, i just noticed that the purple ufo shows up in a lot of maxis products. And only much later, spore introduces the ufo, Steve (That's the actual name of the ufo according to spore). Interesting. Maybe they were planning that all along.
