Maxis will release a new title to the Sim series this year called "Sim Isle" developed by London based Intelligent Games. Featuring a 3D textured map with an isometric view,"Sim Isle" puts you in charge to manage a valuable global resource. The land covering an entire island stretches from the coastal plains through the rainforests to the high mountains.
In "Sim Isle", you can strike a balance between making your fortune and preserving ecology. You might want to develop a tourist resort and make high profits or protect the rainforest with wildlife species and maintain a lifestyle of the tribesman. Or, you can even choose a happy medium.
Video footage (provided by CNN), photographs and sound effects will bring you inside the rainforest at the heart of the simulation.
A network of agents of varying expertise will help you on several missions: cleaning up after an oil spill, rebuilding after an earthquake, fighting ivory hunters, building a tourist industry, etc... Your selection will be important because you will have to fight various opponents like drug producers, international businessmen, etc...
The game will be produced on CD-ROM only and should be available around mid-95.
