I know this is hard to decide for you hardcore Sim fans, this is an (almost) strictly Maxi's Sim thingy. Anyway. The list goes as follows, and I'll get a poll up with who I think will the most votes:
SimCity
SimCity 2000
SimCity 3000
SimCity 4 (+ Rush Hour expansion)
The Sims (+ Expansions)
The Sims 2 (+ Expansions)
SimTower (made by a Japanese guy, but re-released by Maxis (aka Yoot Tower))
SimAnt
SimEarth
SimFarm
SimCopter
Streets of SimCity
SimTown
SimPark
SimSafari
SimTunes
I have to admit I had to go to Wiki for the last 6, and no, I'm not proud of that:(
Anyway, this is a decision that could change the state of the world...you never know!

I've played all the SimCities, the sims, SimEarth and SimTower. SimTower rocked. I think the only problem I had with it was that perhaps it was just a little bit too easy to make money.
Of all the SimCities I think I generally prefered 2000, but I just started playing 4 again and I think I'm beginning to understand the mechanics better (in 2000 it was very easy to build up, in 4 it seems to have to build out for longer before you can build up).
Sim Earth was fantastic. They should really remake it.

Shhh, don't even joke about critising it.

SimEarth FTW!!!
Sim City 2000 was the classic Sim.
Sim City 4 is Sim City 2000, but improved and done well.
Sim Tower was excelent, and I wish I could find my copy :-(
Sim Ant is just oh so much fun. Kill the Red Ants! Drive the people from the house! The Garden is mine!

I'd go for Sim City 2000, I could never get the hang of SC4.
SimEarth is legendary, of course.

I think Simcity 2000 as best of all.

I read about that on Wiki when looking at the Sims games, oh god I wish I had a decent computer:(

It's going to consume my soul. If I didn't have to work or go to class, I'd probably end up spending what time I didn't spend socializing or sleeping playing the damn thing.

What do you think the dole is for? Its for lazy fat people with good computers and the only thing they spend money on is a heater, their computer and take aways.

hmmmm.... either SimEarth or SimLife. SimEarth had the whole evolution simulation thing going on, but it was kinda on rails; it was predetermined that an organism would eventually become intelligent given enough time. SimLife was a bit more realistic on that side of things. I remember spending ages tweaking this organism that I designed to live in little pools in the middle of forests. It would essentially lay dormant for half the year to conserve energy, until the trees started dropping seeds into the water at which point they would immediately eat them all, then use all that energy to mate and give birth to the next generation, after which they died. I left the simulation running for a few days and the lifeform survived the whole time. I loved those little guys :p
EDIT: hey, simlife isn't on the poll :(
Streets of Sim City. It's fucking awesome.:D
But Sim Ant's fun too.

Sim City, the original version on a black-and-white display of a horribly shitty PC!

Yes someone said it already. While Sioms 2 is the best now....Spore will own everything when it comes out.

The old man wins it.
But if I had to name one...Sim City 4000. Yes, I know it's actually 4, but I want it to be 4000. And where's a 5 when we need one? I don't want Spore! I want Sim City 5! :mad:

Sim City 2000 and 3000.
Sims was good too but got old after a while. Sims 2 was better but same thing.
Sims Unleashed was the stupidest idea ever made. The pets slow down the system and they mean that you have pets crapping on the streets in all the later versions.

Out of SimCity, SC2000, SC3000, The Sims, Sims 2 and SimTower (the only ones I've played) SC2000 takes it by a long way.

SimAnt, with SimCity 2000 a close runner up. God, I used to know all the cheats for SC2K.
