KyleHOST
67:18
No, that was a 95.
KyleHOST
67:20
Um, Maxis did a whole run of games specifically for Windows 95.
TroyHOST
67:24
SimPark was-
KyleHOST
67:24
Some of them were actually so good.
TomHOST
37:48
Um, see, it's reminders of PC games.
TomHOST
37:52
Is that, like, Maxis?
DanGUEST
37:54
No, it's not, no.
TomHOST
37:56
Mm.
DanGUEST
38:06
Um-
TomHOST
38:06
'Cause, like, like, I'm trying to think of kind of...
TomHOST
38:08
I've seen the Maxis one on, like, SimCity, Sims.
TomHOST
38:13
I'm thinking of one that I, I'll have seen on a few games, 'cause that's a, a, a stuck in my head one.
Bob MackeyHOST

[laughs]
Nadia OxfordHOST
31:32
[laughs] It's like the old meme of the guy who's like walking with, "Gee, Papa EA, where are we going?" And he goes to the cliff, and EA shoots him in the head, and it's like Maxis or whoever.
Nadia OxfordHOST
31:39
And the, i- it changes every time you see the meme, 'cause EA's always buying, and then finally EA itself ended up in the ditch.
Nadia OxfordHOST
31:45
How poetic.
Ben ChandlerHOST
36:41
Yes.
Ben ChandlerHOST
36:42
Another one of the games that we bought home from this store was a game, a wonderful, well, I say wonderful, let's say visionary title by the wonderful developers Maxis called Streets of SimCity.
Ben ChandlerHOST
36:54
Oh, wow.
VGAHOST
36:55
Yeah.
Ben ChandlerHOST
41:19
Twisted Metal.
VGAHOST
41:19
That was on everyone's radar at the time.
Ben ChandlerHOST
41:22
So Maxis did their version of that.
Ben ChandlerHOST
41:26
But once again, once you've played like 18 minutes of this game and realize a mistake has been made.
Bryan LundukeHOST
8:18
So here's Lunduke City.
Bryan LundukeHOST
8:21
So, uh, for those of you who, uh, are not aware, SimCity was open sourced many years back under the name of Micropolis, right? 'Cause Ele- Electronic Arts had purchased Maxis, which made SimCity.
Bryan LundukeHOST
8:35
And Electronic Arts want, really, had this as open source, but they did not want to give up their SimCity names and trademarks for obvious reasons, right? They want to make new SimCities, uh, and they don't want anyone else calling it that.
Bryan LundukeHOST
8:49
Um, so it was called Micropolis, which was, you know, the old code name for SimCity way back when.
