If there is anything like the AGS program to make a 'not so advanced' SimCity type of game?

I would say use The Games Factory or Multimedia Fusion... though you have to pay for these programs. more info about them at www.clickteam.com

no programming language required to use these programs! I have them both, and they are really good

I played the old game 'Moonbase' and got so angry that it's so extremliy bad, so I thaught about making a better version on the same theme, and since moonbase have the simcity theme i thaught that maybee there was some program to make such games. Maybee something for Mr Jones to 'dig into' now that AGS is allmoust perect...

Moonbase is a rather cool idea, the thing that makes it bad is that the gameplay is ill-balanced. Once you find the way to make money, you're done,  and also, you're not given more difficult challenges.

Making a SIM-type game is rather difficult, MrMasse, I can tell you because I tried to design one, and you really need a good design if you want to have a cool SIM-type game (just an example, imagine every single design decision Will Wright had to make in order to make The Sims work).

To answer your question, I've never heard of a SIM-type game builder, I have not googled myself to see if exists, either, maybe you could have more determination than I do :P.

Well... sul sul

the original Sim City game was actually supposed to be a game in which you blew up buildings in a city, but it was discovered that more fun was had actually building the cities...
