Little TownOriginal Title

Lay roads, mark lots for homes, shops and works, and put up parks and power plants. A lot grows through three sizes when it has a road beside it, power from a plant within 7 cells, and demand: homes want jobs, and works and shops want people. Works near homes keep them small, and a park nearby lets them grow into flats. Every month brings taxes in and costs upkeep, and the pointer shows what a lot lacks or what the town wants. The town becomes a village, then a town, and at 600 people a city.

The town is kept in the screen's name table itself, one tile per cell, and a machine-code routine reads and writes it.

Controls: the stick moves the pointer and the button builds; hold it to lay a line of road. Pick a tool (road, home, shop, work, park, power or clear) on the bottom row.
