Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When was 'Sim City 4' released?

Answer: January 10, 2003

It was Developed by the company 'Maxis' and uses its own, custom built engine for playing. It was first designed by Will Wright ("Sim City" series).

2. How many expansion packs are there for 'Sim City 4'?

Answer: One

There is only one expansion pack for 'Sim City 4', it is called 'Rush Hour'. Although there have been many 'add-ons', there has only been one true expansion pack.

3. You can change the advisors' heads to llamas.

Answer: True

Just type in dollyllama. This will change ALL the advisor's heads into llama heads but otherwise does nothing else.

4. In 'Sim City 4 - Rush Hour' there is something called U-drive-it mode. Which of these is not one of the driving missions?

Answer: Destroy the railroad

There are more than 60 missions. These range from ground missions to water missions to even air missions!

5. How many different types of airports can you build if you have enough money?

Answer: Three

They are as follows (from smallest to largest): Landing strip, municipal airport and international airport! Only the landing strip allows you to do the air missions, the others do not.

6. Which mission can be done to unlock the convention centre?

Answer: Sick Bus Driver

As you can probably guess, in this mission you drive a bus! 'Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy' unlocks the lighthouse; 'Whistle Stop Tour' unlocks the tourist trap; finally, 'Freedom of Expression' does not unlock anything!

7. In 'Sim City 4', there are many shortcuts; what does 'Ctrl+S' do?

Answer: Saves the game

'F12' will quit the game, 'F' will build a small fire station. My favourite shortcut is 'Ctrl+shift+O' (obliterate city). For more shortcuts, look in the 'Sim City 4' manual!

8. You do not need a mouse to play 'Sim City 4'.

Answer: False

Unfortunately, if you do not have a mouse you will not get very far. You will need a mouse to zone areas, place buildings and do some missions. Luckily if you do not have a mouse then you probably will not be doing this quiz anyway! Note - This question is referring to the mouse that goes onto to your computer, not the ones that eat cheese!

9. What version of DirectX does 'Sim City 4' require?

Answer: 7.0

'Sim City 4' requires directX 7.0 as well as a few other things. As mentioned earlier, to play 'Sim City 4' you will need a mouse, a keyboard and more than one and a half gigabytes.

10. On the front cover of the manual, there is a picture of a prospering city. How many boats are there on the picture?

Answer: six

Five of these are in the bottom-left of the picture, the other one is in the middle-left. There are also two helicopters and one rocket! If there are any mistakes, please tell me. I hope you enjoyed this quiz!
