Seeing as it is a cult classic – and now part of the iPhone platform – it seemed only fitting to do a post around the recently released SimCity for iPhone. The game is virtually identical to the original, with the only major change being to the control scheme due to the obvious lack of a mouse.

That said, the game was always tough at first. Heck, even when you did get the hang of everything, you didn’t always feel like dealing with the management of a large city and all the costs that come with it. So what did most people do in this case? Why they used cheat codes of course. But the big question now is, do they still work?

Well good news to all of you SimCity fans, they do, in fact, still work. Well… some of them anyway. It’s a nifty little Easter egg in order to find them, but all you have to do is shake the iPhone and a prompt will appear saying “Enter Cheat Code.” Yup, who’d have thought that was the trick?

As it stands, there are two known cheats for the game that still work. The code, “i am weak” will allow you to build anything your heart desires with no cost, and if you enter the code, “pay tribute to your king” you will be given all of the reward buildings without having to earn them.

Some people might recognize these codes, as they were part of the early PC version of the game. Sadly, many of the other old school codes do not work anymore, including “llama,” “call cousin vinnie,” and “porntipsguzzardo.” Regardless, it is nice to have these codes at all since it is far more fun to cheat anyways.

Whether or not there are more cheats still out there is unknown, but if you discover any new ones, then by all means post your findings.
