This is a list of games created by Maxis . Maxis is an American video game developer that was founded in 1987 and became a division of Electronic Arts (EA) in 1997. Maxis' second software title was the seminal SimCity , a city simulation and planning game . Maxis is the creator of the best-selling PC game of all time, The Sims , and its sequel, The Sims 2 . These three titles and their related products are the brand's most popular and successful lines.
Most of the Maxis titles are simulation-based, though none are considered traditional simulations. Maxis founder Will Wright likens them as "digital dollhouses". Maxis has also released games developed by other production houses, such as A-Train and SimTower .
