Some of the Maxis titles include the award-winning SimCity (now known as SimCity Classic, with the release of SimCity 2000 in 1993), SimEarth, SimAnt, A-Train, SimLife, El Fish, SimFarm, Klik & Play and SimTower. Maxis is currently developing new titles
for the children's and home creativity products. The first home creativity title, Print Artist, was released in 1994, and has attained a cult-like following. Gift Maker follows in its footsteps, with positive reviews from press and customers alike. While
many Maxis consumer products have been adapted for classroom use, the first products designed exclusively for children (but fun for adults, too!), SimTown and Widget Workshop, were released in late 1994.
