Hi, No, Sim City was not written in Visual Basic. It was written in C which is not uncommon for comercial games. In my experience most game developers, most commercial developers that is, don't consider Visual Basic that good of a programming language for developing games. That is why Activision, Nintendo, and the rest all use C or C++ for their games and game engines. <Smile>
