DESCRIPTION
Unlike SimEarth, SimTower, or SimCity, SimIsle — subtitled "Missions in the Rainforest" — allows you to take over the development of any number of islands in a long chain. Many of them have missions. Five small islands comprise a tutorial that teaches the things you need to know to play the game.
There is also one island, with a giant ghostly "X" on it, which you can shape and mold any way you wish. There is no specific scenario associated with this island.
This game introduces agents, who you send about the island in order to carry out your directives. If your agent does not have the right skills to do the job, nothing will happen.
Like all Maxis sims, a wide variety of graphs, charts, and maps allow you to plot your progress toward the goal of the scenario. Will you turn your island into a tourist trap, suck all the resources out of it, or leave it an unspoiled and pristine haven? It's all up to you. ~ Lisa Karen Savignano, All Game Guide

“Trying to play today, SimIsle is hard to get through (in terms of interest, not complexity), but when I was younger, spinning intricate webs of island life and fulfilling objectives with the use of agents was empowering and satisfying.”
