 The most popular PC video games in the 1990s and beyond were Robyn and Rand Miller's Myst, a first-person adventure game, and Maxis Software's The Sims, a life-simulation game. Myst, though relying on messages in books and journals, was largely nonverbal, and The Sims' chief developer, Will Wright, finessed the problem of natural language dialogue by having the inhabitants of SimCity babble in Simlish, a nonsense language incorporating elements of Ukrainian, French and Tagalog.
