SimCity is an open-ended city-building video game series originally designed by Will Wright. The first game in the series, SimCity, was published by Maxis in 1989 and sparked the creation of several sequels and many other spin-off "Sim" titles, including 2000's The Sims, which itself became a best-selling computer game and franchise. Maxis developed the series independently until 1997, and then continued under the ownership of Electronic Arts until 2003. EA commissioned various spinoffs from other companies during the 2000s, focusing on console and mobile releases. A 2013 EA-Maxis reboot was subject to what has been described as "one of the most disastrous launches in history", which may have triggered the 2015 shutdown of Maxis Emeryville and the end of the franchise.
SimCity The Card Game was released in 1995 by Mayfair Games. Several city expansions followed, adding location and politician cards from various cities, including Chicago, Washington, New York City, and Atlanta. Several expansions were planned but never released including Hollywood, Paris, Toronto and Denver. Eleven different promo packs were also released with 10 fixed cards each. Some of these promo packs included the promos that appeared as magazine inserts. Another source noted over 150 promo cards, some released to conventions and gaming stores.

►► Also catch me LIVE on Twitch! I'm frequently playing the game for the next ProJared video there! -- twitch.tv/projared
► Any other oddities you'd like to see me cover? Let me know in the comments!
►► I know covering Tabletop stuff like this is weird. How was this? Were you into it? Would you like to see more?
for oddities(and since i saw that Battletech TCG)Mechwarrior 3050 for the snes is a very odd game. its also very hard and has a better version on the genesis too. its isometric and more like a realtime front mission.
and yes pls cover more tabletop stuff id love to hear your thoughts on them.

tbh, i groaned when you lifted up the cloth to reveal the card game because i like your video game videos way better, but I'm glad i stuck around through the end. You gave great analysis and critique while still keeping it light-hearted and fun to watch. I would like more videos similar this. Actually, i would LOVE if you took a look at the Oregon Trail card game sold by target a few years ago. It's quite a stinker. but yeah. good video. ive been enjoying the streams too. thank you jared, please keep making stuff. you're great
I must say I never imagined out of all products to support this show that cereal would some how be both out of place and fitting to the energy of this channel.
I know you have done a couple of them before in the past, but top 10s are always fun to watch imo.
"Make the game playable by purchasing more of it."
So EA DID make this then.
Na they were pure then but seeds were everywhere
EA saw that and took out everything but "purchasing more" as cost cutting measure.
You forgot that one time where they actually provided a different solution:
"Guess the last character of the product serial we printed 1 character short."
I thin it was C&C3.
Haha EA bad!!
@@moviefilmstudios9828 Yep.
11:29. Not gonna lie, as a TCG player of various franchises, watching you bend those long cards in half, no matter how worthless those cards may be, wounded my soul.
Something died inside me when I saw this
I'm the same whenever i see all the "garbage" cards left laying around after a draft, i always ask if anyone wants them, i always get a no (usually followed by a laugh of some kind) and scoop them up like "come here little one's, I'll give you a home" lol
Same, and I'm not a card game player. But I am a fan of retro stuff. It's from 1995 and is out of print, I don't care how crappy the game is, it's a thing from 1995 in the exact same condition it was when it was made! You can't get any more of them!
What about playing cards?
Three things in life are certain:
You are not the father
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
and this is not the weirdest version of SimCity
You forgot "these are not the droids you're looking for"
@@Dw7freak You're absolutely right.
Which one is it then?
@@MiguelAngel-fw4sk It's the SimCity Drinking Game: Xtreme Edition. Every time you play SimCity, die of alcohol poisoning.
Also, it's not lupus.!
I honestly miss Jared’s old Intros with him hanging the controllers and „goodbye Summer, hello Winter“ theme playing
Same, it's such a cute intro.
The outro still remains, and it kept Goodbye Summer, Hello Winter!
In the end of the video, I was expecting Jared to say that this wasn't the weirdest SimCity game and pull out a board game or something
Honestly a board game sounds like it would fit WAY better with the source material than a TCG of all things.
I'm surprised there wasn't one. It could work.
That would be a whole other corner of youtube. There are LOADS of city building board games.
That would atleast make sense.
Erotic board game. Sim City: After Dark
My soul died watching Jared fold that long card in half 😵
theyre just that worthless and seeing the multiple decks and boxes he bought he mustve had like 5 of em
It's not like they're collectable so whatever
I made a noise out loud that I'm not proud of.
I know what you mean! Even if they're effectively valueless, it's hard to see. It's like a reflex, you just want to shout!
That's how I keep my Sliver Queen in my box
I really miss the something out of ten... That being said
I give this, a Real Life Lancaster City Council Meeting out of ten.
Awe. Thumbs up. I'm from Lancaster, PA. ^_^
@@tarrker Oh cool. Lancaster CA, nutting but desert
@@controlledchaosstudios5364 Eeewwww. Butts are nutting all over the dessert? California truly IS a disgusting place!
@@dragoneye6229 don't know the half of it
Jared must have been a top tier salesman in another life. He can take literally anything that I don't care much about, like Sim City and card games, and instantly make me interested in them
As you were going through the various version of SimCity I can honestly say I didn't see the card game twist coming. Very cool video. The smell gag at the end was especially good.
I loved that ending too, literally laughed out loud
@@trevordelepine7708 me too, almost woke the baby
I'm now sad that I read this before watching...
(Mad at myself, not you)
'Gag' being the operative word.
Same here. Except for the card game thing but, that's only because I found a starter pack in a thrift store while shopping with my mom. :)
Aw I have missed these videos about random games no one has heard about.
@@howiegruwitz3173 he never did
Same!
Looks like he’s slowly getting back into the swing of his channel
I’d love to see more of these types of videos
@@CrasherX2000 Agreed. Heck, I'm all for him reviewing literally whatever games he thinks would make a good video - popular and well-known or not.
I cannot describe how hype I was for the Pathfinder review video when I saw it.
@@Tacticslion This is Projared's anime comeback arc, lol.
The SNES music for this game is so damn majestic. One of my happy places.
It's still so good to see Jared back in this capacity after all that happened. At one time I thought I'd never see an upload of his again, and now we're back to classic videos.
Poor Jerd, that look on his face when he pulled out the boosters mean he spent way too much money on them.
It's ok, he got that sweet Magic Spoon cash
"I'm never going to financially recover from this."
.....how expansive even are those cards? I mean....I doubt they have much value but even then....no matter the price it was too much.
I doubt he spent too much, dead games like this can usually be bought for like 5 bucks.
He did a livestream where he scratched off lottery cards. He won 2 dollars for his troubles.
When you hear a MTG fan say your ruleset is too complicated, you effed up HARD
You'd really fuck up if a Yu-Gi-Oh player told you it was too complicated 😂
@@peachy5454 Imagine a game like Sims needing Problem Solving Card Text similar to Yu-gi-oh lmao
@@peachy5454 yeah, modern ygo got so complex even professional players end up making mistakes during official duels nowdays, its crazy
Ok, so Warhammer 40,000 is…
@@phearamax4146 last time I checked 40K isnt a cardgame
God, that song from the SNES version ... it's so soothing. I love it.
ironically the sheer complexity of the Sim City CCG would make it perfect for an eCCG. Get on that one, EA.
please no
Jared is throwing in more plot twists than there were endings to Return of the King.
Glad to see some variety videos too, though still miss your old intro.
same
Same. My mind automatically fills in the intro cause it isn't there. Miss it.
There's no more final ratings also. I miss those
Everyone used it to make fun of him during the dark times. Im glad its gone.
@@yannyyansen9743 true, but he still uses a snippet of the song for the outros, so the song isn't totally gone.
Ah, I also enjoyed Gargoyles. I'm pretty sure the cast of Star Trek: TNG enjoyed it too.
Just Trek in general. TOS, TNG, DS9, even VOY all showed up.
"Now, as an adult, my favorite thing about mornings is..."
Waking up with even the smallest amount energy, having just enough motivation to get up and shower, and having morning wood?
This is classic Jared and I love it.
a couple years ago it was like oh Jared's gone now and now it's like he never left, crazy
I can’t wait to see more videos like this. For those years I’d just watch the videos over and over because they always made me laugh.
@@AwfulAni he had sexual alligatations before and he was paranoid and loosing subscribers for it.
@@AwfulAni I'm confused on why he's back lmao
Is it weird that when he said that as a kid he enjoyed waking up and watching cartoons that the first thing that popped into my head was Gargoyles? I miss that show.
That's not weird. Gargoyles is friggin' awesome.
@@renatocorvaro6924 I agree or remember Friday night nick toons new episodes every Friday night ah memories
It was the transformers and g I joe for me
Member Dragon Flyz? I member
Best show ever ❤
I love the SNES SimCity! Its very nostalgic for me, and the music is so chill and nice. I had no idea this card game existed, but it definitely looks like an interesting novelty. And I dunno...that Chairman Christmas photo seems pretty mythic to me 😂
These classic videos of you just taking a random weird game I've never heard of and talking about it will always hold a special place in my heart, I love them
That a Sim City card game exists at all, it makes sense that Jared would be the one to find it.
I'm just imagining he was looking at random shit on eBay and that's where he saw a "Sim City Card Game" and he was like "What the fuck?"
@@rastas_4221 I don't know who that is but I believe you.
@@renatocorvaro6924 Check him out. He is really great.
I found out about it a few years ago because I came up with the idea as a joke, looked it up, and found out it was real
That ending...love it. Thanks Jared for another fun video!!!
This is the only channel where I ACTUALLY watch the ads because they are done so well. @ProJared is really really good at TH-cam.
6:05 That actually looks similar to the Towers in Narragansett, Rhode Island. It, too, looked like a castle, but it was a nightclub and casino for the elite in the early 20th century.
Hey Gargoyles may of been a show for kids but watching it again as an adult let me appreciate how amazing that show was.
Gargoyles is an amazing show, definitely not just for kids!
Disney's answer to batman the animated series
But did it ever get a proper ending?
@@pharmcat8484 it continued in the form of a comic book, but even then it didn't finish.
When Gargoyles first came on I liked it and I was a teenager
at the time. I plan on rewatching it later this year.
I'm glad that not one but TWO burning questions were answered in the same video!
The moment the version was revealed, I had that immediate follow up question!
I will never get tired of watching Jared. Been here since about 2013 and I still love the content.
Great video man. Glad to see you doing stuff like this, i hope to see more obscure deep-dives in the future
I loved the SimCity review and let’s play series you did in the past and I love this review too. Interesting to see so many ports and the trading cards of this game. Great variety video, Jerd. Also I too watched the Gargoyles.
I like how at 2:42 your town is called Narshe
And I think an earlier one was named subscribe too
Best gags in the video:
"But this is _not_ the weirdest version of SimCity."
The card smell gag at the end
Jared resignedly pulling out a metric ass-tonne of SimCity cards while maintaining eye contact with the camera.
Can't wait for SimCity Arena.
SimCity Battle Royale
Your review of the 2013 Simcity was the first video of yours I ever saw. This was a nice callback! I like your final fantasy videos, but it’s nice to see a video on something else!
His full length one or his one minute review. Probably doesn't matter but I'm curious
@@imperialprimarch4442 The full length one
Not even going to lie, I actually did want to know how they smelled. But damn that reaction killed me.
Also when Jared reminded us of Sim City 2013, I instantly recalled his One Minute Review of it and how hard it made me laugh.
"Work. Dammit. Work. Dammit. Work -aw what the hell?! Work. Dammit. Ah, here we go! F*** it! I'm going to bed".
And here I thought you were going to talk about the version of Sim City I had as a kid, where the monster attack was Bowser taking a break from attacking the mushroom kingdom to wreck your city.
Glad to see Jared is back with a new video, it always makes me happy when I see a video from him.
High five to Jared for the little sponsor time marker at the bottom. Helps know if you're in for a 5 minutes ad campain like some youtubers do, which helps not starting to skip immediatly out of annoyance.
Your channel is still one of my top favs. Thanks for another one, Jared. I do recall Sim City on PC in school, back in the day. It was pretty cool
I gotta be honest...that was THE best sponsored testimony I've ever seen. It seemed like it was actually honest and sincere. This is the first sponsorship I've watched all the whole way through. I usually just skip the ads/sponsored testimonies; but, I had no need for the Right-Arrow key this time, because it was actually entertaining. I guess only ProJared could do something like that. Kuddos on keeping my attention on an ad for more than two seconds.
i hope jared can get others to play this with him so that all those cards he spent money on don't go to waste
He got to make a video about them and share the experience with hundreds of thousands of people in the end -- it's definitely not a waste either way :)
omg that battletech booster pack just gave me nostalgia shock, i LOVED the battletech TCG, its what got me into the mechwarrior games as well as battletech TT, ty for the trip down memory lane.
The "nightclub" card is one of the world's most famous and recognizable nightclubs - or several, I guess, since after it was Limelight Chicago it became Vision/Excalibur.
Michael is such an amazing film, no wonder it got itself in a spot of movie set in a Sim City card game.
seriously, seeing this movie mentioned is a treat.
Im American and "zee ecks spectrum" still sounds sacrilegious to me.
I love that they made the card game for sim-city as complex as running an actual city, lol
Jared,
I was one of the people who rather happily walked on the bandwagon of trying my best to destroy you and your reputation during the major controversy last year. Since then I have come to learn that you were by and large innocent of the claims laid against you and I wanted to apologize--not just for the internet, but on my own behalf. I shouldn't have been so quick to judge and I'm sure I only contributed to the pain and suffering you received.
It's hard to watch your content now with the grief I feel, but at the very least I wanted to apologize. Have a good one and keep uploading, man.
Also, R.I.P Hasting's. You were an awesome chunk of my childhood into adulthood
"I've been rewatching gargoyles" Zero shame. That show is still good
Gargoyles is an amazing show, something truly special.
Jared, you gotta check how 90's nightclubs looked, here in Spain we have a lot of awesome old buildings that were made as nightclubs!
The one in the card looks like a medieval themed one, for "going medieval" on the drinks and the hotties?
The guy whose photo is just him standing in front of a fireplace at Christmas keeps cracking me up.
LOL.. yeah that card game is really wicked 🤣
Burger
I got really uncomfortable watching him fold cards to fit in the box
Please.. I need more of this style of video. For real though, great job with everything! The presentation was so good!
"I've been rewatching Gargoyles."
Gargoyles, X-Men TAS, Batman TAS, Superman TAS, seasons 2 & 3 of ReBoot, Swat Kats, Duckman, The Critic, Daria, & Aeon Flux all held up for me as an adult.
10:25 aight, we're gonna have to know where the scent of that booster card pack ranks in the tier list.
14:00
Edit: clipped, It's too damned good XD
we have simCity at home, sim city at home
Great video, hoping for more of these short videos about odd card and video games.
The expression as you judge the company for telling you to buy more cards to enjoy the game, only to begrudgingly pull out several starter kits and a booster box xD
Excellent video!
I dont need to finish the video before hitting the like button
Lol same
That's a cool little loop on your page...post more!
@@violetgreene6133 oh wow, thanks! I will be for sure, just started that page to put some things out there:)🤘
I find it funny that you are talking about the ZX spectrum when it’s creator, Sir Clive, just died today. Also I’m so use to hearing the name being pronounced with a British accent that it’s weird hearing it with an American accent
Return to form. 👏🏽
Appreciate the new content, Twitch vods and your growth ProJared but it's nostalgic to see you be so simple and down to earth from time to time.
Really felt like Saturday morning. Good job. 👌🏾
That card pack hit probably gave Jared the Worst Trip Ever. Got lost in a city of illogical landmarks while looking for a power plant and being chased by a mayor.
Hell yeah Gargoyles!!!!!
Disney's answer to batman the animated series
Quack.
Primitive Hut lead me to some much needed laughter this evening as I went 0/62 on Ochimusha Kote on my new FFXI character.
Hey Jared glad to see your back in full swing in making reviews again! Though I do gotta say, I would very much love your one minute reviews to come back cause damn they were awesome
13 second gang
I'm 13 minutes gang (plus video, ad, and comment writing duration).
Wow this is like the skyrim of back in the day where it's on every console and I think you just gave skyrim a new port with the cards 😆
There's actually a board game so it's not far off 😂
@@Camexagon oh damn 🤣 I didn't know now I feel silly
@@Camexagon There's even an Alexa version
I love this type of content. Don't hesitate to make more videos about funky board/card game versions of video games - this is my jam!
Definitely glad that we've exited the "just reviewing Final Fantasy games for a few years" phase of the channel. Those videos were fun! They were also, uh, they took you a long time and you weren't as enthusiastic about some of them as others!
I just started watching gargoyles too. That show was weird.
Disney's answer to batman the animated series
@@time4manmode945 yeah.
Hello
Dude, I cannot get enough of your content. I'm bingewatching everything. You quickly became one of my favourite youtubers. Funny, informative and straighforward. I love it! Al the best!
The build up to the reveal was very good!
Good job Jared!
Nice to see you cover this game! Now I'm kinda eager to whop out my own copies of it, as I've never really played the game - I just enjoy having these weird IP-based card games in my CCG/TCG collection ^^ ("Mortal Kombat", "Monster Hunter TCG" and "Alien Predator" are three of my personal favorites, though I HAVE actually played two of those!)
This feels like that Monty Python skit where they keep narrating a trailer but switching to different people that are tangentially related
Glad to see you still making quality content Jared! :)
Love modern yet old school style Pro Jared vids. Epic new video!
I was waiting for him to go into a long explanation of the card game for ten minutes just to say "BUT THIS ISN'T THE WEIRDEST SIM CITY GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I had always seen these in stores, but I never had a friend who already played it, so I never spent the money to try it out. I had always been curious though.
Good to know that I didn't miss much.
6:03 That nightclub belongs to Cassenova Frankenstein. "It is time to get down und boogie!" 🤣
Sim City 2000 on the PS1 is still my favorite SimCity game, but the SNES version I remember watching my dad play.
Let’s get projared his 1 million subs back, he deserves it.
"I PLAY MY BLUE EYED 723 W. NINTH ST. IN ATTACK MODE!"
"HA! YOU FOOL, YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD: MUD HUT!"
The weirdest version of Sim City in the "Enhanced Edition for MS-DOS" The fmv cut scenes are off the wall. I'm really shocked that someone hasn't done a video on it yet.
Lords of Light! The nostalgia of this one. Knowing your background with Magic: The Gathering, I had a feeling it would be the card game (if not some handheld or electronic board game). I only ever found booster packs of these, so I never knew how to play the game. Now I find out I was overthinking it. It's basically Rivers, Roads, and Rails with politics.
And then I noticed the Hastings sticker on the card box... The memories. ☺️
I came around your channel after a long time to see if you were still posting. I'm really glad you are. Your style is still pretty fun to watch! I wish you nothing but goodness in your career(s).
About the video now with that outta the way, it's interesting the different amount of iterations games in the 80s/90s had, since video games were still a shaky market and board games and card games were still a more acceptable choice for leisure. (Also you were dedicated to that card game XD) And the roms surviving time is good for video game history even if those games are good or bad.
Been watching your channel for a few years now. Never stop!
Seeing 'Video Store' and 'Fondue Restaurant' cards side by side as the camera pans by dates this card game in the most exquisite way, I love it.
Hey ProJared. The version history lessons was neat. More of that in future videos would be nice.
That Nightclub is Excalibur in downtown Chicago - looks like a castle. Now I want to find a set and take photos of the locations used .
That Magic Spoon ad made me laugh. "It's keto-friendly, gluten free, grain free, wheat free (which is already included in grain free), soy free..." So it's just shredded up cardboard?
Loved this episode. Can’t wait for more!
The video in which Jared makes the market value of Sim City long cards skyrocket, then immediately folds several of what would become some of the most valuable collectible cards by the year 2025.
