A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Fox Johnson: SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. So a round of Fox Johnson is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer simulation games timeline.
