Yes, the guide is now split up onto different pages. Even though voters of my recent poll were 50% for this and 50% against it, I hope you’ll agree the change is for the better. Since each section is now its own page, I’ve been able to expand certain sections and I soon hope to add more screen shots and other graphics.

Foreword
I was 16 years old when I started Peter’s Place. At the time, I was in high school and I had a lot more time for video games and computer games then. My “SimCity Tip of the Week” was one of the first, and most popular features on the website. Since then, many other gaming sites have popped up, created by people who have more time for video games than I do. I still like to play video games, but sitting in front of SimCity for hours on end is something I don’t have much time for these days. Still, I realize most other sites concentrate on SimCity Societies, the latest in the series. Some still focus on SimCity 4 or other sequels. But as far as I could ever tell, mine was the only devoted to the Super Nintendo version of the original SimCity. That’s why I decided to keep the SimCity SNES page going. (And with new players still discovering SimCity via the Wii Virtual Console, I guess it wasn’t a bad idea!)
