Simple 2000 #121 The Matching Maker 2 - New, In Stock

Urban development is hard work. The construction of an entire city requires forethought, careful consideration of the layout, and perseverance. Once a city is humming, it's even harder to keep the citizenry happy and content with their surroundings and municipal amenities. To give gamers a taste of what it takes to build a city, D3 Publisher releases Matching Maker 2.1 which is nearly identical to the first game. The action starts in a grassy expanse where the first task is to lay down the pavement and watch as street lights are automatically built and light up by themselves. Once completed, it's time to to drop buildings which are constructed right before your eyes by invisible workmen.

The game follows the natural progression of time where day turns into night and dusk eventually gives way to dawn. As the town grows up, the population slowly rises and buildings and businesses such as book stores, restaurants, fish mongers, vegetable stands, and other shops may be raised to keep the populace in good standing. New buildings that may be built in Matching Maker 2.1 include a multi-story pagoda, religious shrines, animal stables, an actual castle, and even old school residences for samurai. Beaches and special cafes round out the lay of the land.
