Every Tuesday is SimCity Day!
But what is SimCity Day?  Each Tuesday we will be posting something new on this site -- it could be a cool new download for SimCity 3000 Unlimited, it could be the latest news about a live chat event or an upcoming contest.

You never know what might happen, but you can be sure of one thing: If it is Tuesday, it must be SimCity Day at Maxis!
