SimCastle – another Maxis game that never was…

Did anyone ever get the chance to play the kid versions of Maxis games?  SimTown, Sim Safari, even SimTunes?  I wish I could get copies of these past games just for collector’s sake.   Speaking of being a collector, one of the most disappointing things to experience is the cancellation of certain products.  We’ve seen it with SimMars and Simsville…  But little was known about another game aimed at kids called ‘SimCastle‘.

According to GameSetWatch,

“[SimCastle] was a cheery medieval simulator based on the popular SimTown engine,” says illustrator Corey Keller, who worked on the game for the company’s “Maxis Kids” label (Toshio Iwai’s SimTunes).

A number of concept art images was released at Corey Keller’s website which you can view below:
