The game also included several playable scenarios , in which the player must deal with a disaster ( in most , but not all scenarios ) and rebuild the city to meet a set of victory conditions . These were based in versions of real-life cities , and some were based on real events such as the Oakland firestorm of 1991 , the 1989 Hurricane Hugo in Charleston , South Carolina , the Great Flood of 1993 in Davenport , Iowa , or dealing with the 1970s economic recession in Flint , Michigan — but also included more fanciful ones such as a " monster " destroying Hollywood in 2001 . More scenarios added with the SimCity Urban Renewal Kit ( SCURK ) included a nuclear meltdown in Manhattan in 2007
