''[[SimCity (1989 video game)|SimCity]]'', released in 1989, was Maxis' first release. The player is a mayor that may, at their leisure, take a city from a single village to a successful [[metropolis]], laying down zones, taking care of the public services and stimulating the city's economy. The series includes six main games (''[[SimCity (1989 video game)|SimCity]]'', ''[[SimCity 2000]]'', ''[[SimCity 3000]]'', ''[[SimCity 4]]'', ''[[SimCity Societies]]'' and ''[[SimCity (2013 video game)|SimCity]]'') and three spin-offs, ''[[Sim City: The Card Game]]'', ''[[SimCopter]]'' and ''[[Streets of SimCity]]''. ''[[SimCity Societies]]'', the fifth main release, was not produced by Maxis, but by [[Tilted Mill Entertainment]], being described as a 'social engineering simulator' and criticized for the lack of ''SimCity''{{'}}s traditional formula. In 2013, Maxis Emeryville released a reboot, simply titled ''[[SimCity (2013)|SimCity]]'', to mixed reviews, due to technical issues at launch surrounding its mandatory online connectivity.<ref name="forbes">{{cite news |author=Thier, Dave |date=March 6, 2013 |title=Maxis Working to Fix SimCity's Server Problems |work=Forbes |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2013/03/06/maxis-working-to-fix-simcitys-server-problems/ |access-date=March 6, 2013}}</ref><ref name="GBM">{{cite web |last=Ingram |first=Shawn |date=March 6, 2013 |title=SimCity Connectivity Issues Leave Game Almost Unplayable &#124; Gotta Be Mobile |url=http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/03/06/simcity-connectivity-issues-leave-game-almost-unplayable/ |access-date=March 6, 2013 |publisher=gottabemobile.com}}</ref> TrackTwenty (formerly Maxis Helsinki) developed ''[[SimCity: BuildIt]]'' in 2014.
