Development of the original SimCity began in 1985 under game designer Will Wright, and the game was published in 1989.[8] Wright was inspired by a map creation feature of the game Raid on Bungeling Bay that led him to discover that he enjoyed creating maps more than playing the actual game.[9] While developing SimCity, Wright cultivated a love of the intricacies and theories of urban planning[10] and acknowledges the influence of Jay Wright Forrester's book Urban Dynamics.[11][12] In addition, Wright was inspired by reading "The Seventh Sally", a short story by Stanisław Lem from The Cyberiad, published in the collection The Mind's I, in which an engineer encounters a deposed tyrant, and creates a miniature city with artificial citizens for the tyrant to oppress.[13]
