Audio


The soundtrack of the game was composed by Jerry Martin, known for composing music for The Sims and the SimCity series. The game includes several styles of music, represented via the radio stations. The stations include jazz, techno, bluegrass, and rock. Some of the music lived on and was included in The Sims, as music for "action television programs", as well as tracks on radio and audio systems.[citation needed].


Reception


The game received unfavorable reviews from critics. Next Generation said, "When all is said and done, Streets of Sim City [sic] is better left on the store shelves. With its surprisingly high system requirements (P166 and 32 MB of RAM at a minimum), the game already has a limited audience by necessity. [...] Pass on this one and dig out Interstate '76 instead – same idea, much more fun."[7]
