It’s Like Google Maps with Sim City 2000 – OnionMap
Remember SimCity 2000? That was a great game. That was probably the last computer game I played for any significant length of time, and if my Macbook Pro were able to read 5-inch floppies, I'd totally pop it in and build myself a city called Yau Town.
Put the look of SimCity 2000 together with Google Maps, and you get OnionMap. Most of the site is in Korean, but from what I gather it aims to be something of a tourist guide with a little bit of social network mixed in. That part of OnionMap is a little fuzzy, but it was worth the five minutes for the maps.

Hehe. I remember playing a lot SimCity 3000. Now my charts are the equivalent for the bulding/roads/parks.
PS. The UFO attack was the best :)

You still can play!!
I loved that game when I was a kid…back in the days of the Mac Performa lol. My town always ended up burning down after protests and looting.
Onionmap is nothing when compared to this Chinese site:

They’ve practically mapped out the entire Shanghai (and quite a few other China cities) in a SimCity-like fashion! Amazing stuff!
