ElectroCity

Eletrocity – This is a SimCity game but in smaller scale and with a good lesson to learn, sustainability. The game teaches the many different ways you can save energy, in a simple and nice looking game. You need to evolve, earn money, the population grown, till you get a big metropole without any pollution. Make as mush as you can in 120 turns. Each turn, you can build whatever you want, and the next turns, the constructions evolve.

It isn’t hard, nor easy, but this game can make you spend some more hours in front of the screen…
