Links to other Maxis focused websites

Back in 1999 this page linked to a bunch of active Maxis and/or Sim game websites; however, most of those sites have evaporated. While restoring this website in 2019, I sorted out the working/broken links and added several new ones when applicable. For dead websites, I attempted to find them on archive.org or oocites.org (a Geocities archive site), but this wasn't always successful. In this situation, I've simply posted the URL in plain text below.

Active Sites

PatCoston.com focuses on SimCity and SimTower. This site has one of the most impressive list of SimCity 2000 downloads I've seen since 1999.
SimPage.net this site stopped receiving updates in 2006, but has been kept online ever since. They feature SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, and SimCity 4 content.
The Best of Streets of SimCity A satirical website pointing out the "best part of Streets of Sim City".

Sites on oocities (GeoCities archive)

Sim Games Center is a classic 1990s era Sim-games website with content on almost all of Maxis' games of the time. Much like me, kwong92@hotmail.com hosted their downloads on a separate server which, unfortunately, wasn't crawled by archive.org. As such, much of their content is lost
THE SOJOT COLLECTION is perhaps the most unique Sim-focused website I've encountered. The author, Lee Sojot, created a plethora of SimCity 2000 tile sets corresponding to real buildings. Defintely check this one out. Amazingly, all of the tile sets were preserved. Definitely check this one out.
Game Castle is a website created by an unnamed author. They have a variety of content and downloads for SimCity 2000 and SimCity 3000

Sites on Archive.org

Josh's Sim Stuff was one of the larger Maxis game focused websites of the 1990s. It focused on modern Sim Games, like The Sims, The Sims Online, and SimCity 4, but eventually included a few older games like Streets
Mike Trekker's Streets of SimCity website Mike was one of the most prodigious producers of Streets of SimCity DLC. He made more than 30 car skins and several great race tracks.
SimGateway created by Jon Aycan was one of the few syndicated sim-game websites. He covered SimCity 2000/SKURK, Streets of SimCity, SimCopter, SimTower, SimIsle, SimAnt, and SimFarm. He also made the SimCity 3000 gateway listed below. And just for fun, here is the SimGateway website before it moved to gamestats.

SC3000 Gateway is Jon Aycan's syndicated SimCity 3000 site. It focused exclusively on SimCity 3000 and featured a bunch of downloads, videos, music, and theme packs.
Peter's Place by Peter Naughton was one of the earliest and largest Sim-gaming websites on the Internet in the 1990s. He had content on SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, SimCopter, SimTower, SimCity SNES. The site eventually moved to petersplace.cjb.net and then to www.pnaw10.com. Peter now DJs in central New York state. His SNES SimCity guide is still online here
SimEden was Adam Steinbaugh's website that focused on SimCity 3000, SimCity 4, TheSims, and SimMars. It was one of the most visually appealing sites at the time.
SimStuff was a Maxis fan site and hosting service started by Josh van Hulst. His site focused primarily on TheSims.
Sim World Online was a SimCity 3000 focused website by Sher Win. Sher also made a few Streets of SimCity skins.

Streets of SimCity Rules to Survive By (SOSC RTSB) was a joint effort between Peter Osorio, Brian Kloppenborg, and Joseph Sowards to create the best Streets of SimCity website on the net. We hosted several online tournaments and had a pretty robust downloads page.
Sharpie's SimCopter Page an award winning Maxis Customer site that is an authoritative source of information on SimCopter. Also check out the Sharpie.net BBS on the game.
Kevin's SimCopter Page is another fun SimCopter page. It has a great series of hints and tips to help you get past difficult levels.
Jerry Moore's Sim Stuff Web Pages is a great website for SimCity 2000 content. It also has one of the more robust link pages I've seen.
SimWeb a website that features every one of Maxis' games from the 1990s. SimCity, SimCity 2000, SimTower, SimIsle, SimFarm, SimAnt, SimGolf, SimLife, SimCopter, and Streets of SimCity, and SimCity 3000 are all present. Most of the links go offsite for downloadable content though.
Vertical Empire an absolutely wonderful SimTower fan website with amazing graphics. Check it out.

Dead Sites

SimCite was a fairly small Sim-focused website hosted on AngleFire. They had content on SimCity, SimCopter, SimCity 3000, and the Sims. Unfortunately, the content preserved on archive.org is almost non-existant.
