There very cool, retro games, I have them all now
Maxis Software is an American company that was founded as a video game developer and is now a brand name of Electronic Arts (EA). Its initial software title was the seminal SimCity, a city simulation and planning game. Maxis is also the creator of the best-selling computer 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 playgrounds." Maxis has also released games developed by other production houses, such as A-Train, sometimes with less than stellar results.
Contrary to popular myth, the company's name was not based on the words "six AM" spelled backwards. Rather, it was derived from a formula suggested by Jeff Braun's father: computer game companies should have two-syllable names and should include an 'x'. It was noticed later that 'Maxis' is six AM backwards.
Maxis has been also rumored to be tied to the Walt Disney Company because of the celebrity cameos in many of their games such as The Sims and the similar layout to the Disney Channel Website but in some way is true, but it was not proven.
