A strange little side quest
If Uphill Bus Simulator 3D sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. 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. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Formula 1 introduced pit-lane speed limits during the 1994 season as safety concerns grew around increasingly fast cars and busier pit lanes. So a round of Uphill Bus Simulator 3D is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer simulation games timeline.
