Sim City 2000

Old-school fans of Sim City may remember the option of building renewable energy sources, instead of using fossil fuels, for their invented communities.

BP hopes to leverage that green love and earn some brand equity at the same time.

Electronic Arts is partnering with oil giant BP to bring environmental awareness to the latest chapter of the game franchise, Sim City Societies, reports Next-Gen.

BP-branded windmills and solar panels will appear in the game. Going green keeps in-game cities' carbon ratings lower, preventing natural disasters from occurring.
