Description from the packaging.

This Town is Run by Kids!

Hey kids! Now you can build and run your own animated town! Put the roads wherever you want. Choose different houses, including log cabins, haunted houses and castles. Place your favorite business, including pizza parlors, toy stores, video arcades and movie theaters! Watch people walk, bicycle and skateboard through town as they work, play and have fun. You can even follow them into their homes. Now you can build your own dream town! Well, OK, there are grown-ups, but nothing's perfect.

• Design your own character (boy, girl, woman or man) to live in your town. Decide what they like to do, eat and say- you can even choose their pet!

• Peek into houses and see the different people inside.

• Balance your town's growth against your water, tree and food supply- and don't get choked by pollution or buried by too much garbage!

• Build your own town as big or as small as you want. Cool sound effects and hidden animations will bring it to life! You can even print your town and color it in.

SimTown is designed to teach kids the basic concepts behind economics (supply and demand), ecology (natural resources, pollution and recycling), and city planning (balancing homes, businesses and recreation) in a fun, easy-to-understand simulation.
