Sim City Snes Megalopolis (700 000+)

[TheZunar123]

Cheat alert. Some zones do not have roads/rails beside them, and they are required for growth.

[AlirazaVideoGames]

Looks like you need a few abortion clinics up in that city of yours ;)

[RawChristianSuperman]

The city stat screen actually says "Megaropolis"........

I think some Asians did the translating.

[poshko41]

1:34 Megaropolis. lol! I never noticed that.

[DerAntimensch]

Cheat0r!

[brazil966]

que cidade feia

[pcfaulkner]

love snes

[brownie1982ad]

used to play this all the time as a kid. The is the best version of the game too.

[paulinah79]

How can you get so many Police HQs?

[supadwarfa]

its called "GAME GENIE" i had the infinite money cheat too

[ScireSpire]

I have hit 712k with cheating; however, no zone stacking.

[ScireSpire]

1. He is cheating. You notice a whole bunch of his residentential zones are being squished. basically putting buildings on buildings. (Well, under my definition it is cheating)

2. There is a cheat code on the emulator. Search for it on youtube. There is a place where you can get instructions.

[supadwarfa]

@ScireSpire hes using a friken game genie,i had one when i was younger and i used it all the time

[EddieApoc]

Whats with the trees in the middle of your train tracks?

[KarmaJolt]

You know K stands for 1,000?

[JBMoevies]

IT'S OVER 9000!!!

[geterdonein01]

i could never get past about 240,000 people, my city would always hit an economic brick wall and stop expanding at that point.

[kirokyukan]

how did you get so many gifts?

[DragonBice]

I've been looking for a way to play this on my PC but I'm unsure of how to do it. Does anyone know of a downloadable version that works for PC? I haven't been able to find one.

[kirokyukan]

@DragonBice I downloaded a torrent from isohunt with a couple of Simcity games, but they were zipped or rar files or something like that and I never figured out how to open them.

[Throsor]

@DragonBice

Get a SNES emulator, then download the rom for simcity.

[DJ80s]

I used to spend hours upon hours as a kid trying to reach this. I couldn't ever get past 300K I think it was. It got to a point where I didn't even think it was possible even with the donut layout strategy and total flat land.

[Minebot]

nice... port.

[ScubaSteveM45]

And the game doesn't fault you for having non-connected rail lines? I thought these were no good unless you did, I could never get my city consistently about 250K people.

[MidnightWonko]

This is in contrast to what I thought worked in this game. The railroads don't have to connect to exert their influence on zones? You have an aweful lot of developed zones that are next to noncontiguous railroads...

[AndiNeverSlice]

It was a common misconception that railroads were a symbol of only trains. In essence, the rails were symbolic of public transportation as a whole. (Busses, subway, etc)

[lilbromarky1]

Nope...1 piece of rail touching each zone. I see what the original poster did in his layout of R-zones. Its a brilliant pattern

[NorwegicusOnAstick]

How do you tell hwta is what? :o

Looks like the back of the graphics card in your computer this..

[magicalorangutan2]

Zone stacking might "look" unrealistic, but it actually is just representative of higher zone density.

A building is not shown to scale in the game, otherwise it'd be far to wide to be realistic.

Its all just representative.

In fact its very realistic as far as actual population density is concerned; the highest population density you can achieve is really about 20,000 citizens per square mile, which is not that much compared to some real life cities.

I did the calculations

[burker7]

does your house turn into the mario statue or is that a seperate gift altogether?

i've always wanted to see what your house looked like at 500k people but i cant seem to find it in your video

[magicalorangutan2]

If Im not mistaken, its actually no different than that of 100k-499.999k

[MidnightWonko]

The Mario Statue is a separate gift given to commemorate the day your city hit the 500k mark.

It raises land value for any zone.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

Why did you turn off the sound?

[Microsoftultimatefan]

Zone stacking looks un-realistic. That's why I don't do it.

[Rokenes]

Whats up with the R blocks and the powerlines at

0:34???

[Maulstunk]

One of the greatest games all times!

[blackfirehell1]

this game its great,,, but i paly in the snes and its good, because has a problem the only money you lose its when the year ends and you pay only the things of road and police...for example you can put whatever you wnat like 30 air ports and you don t lose the money..^^

[ArchnemesisX]

Now that's a unique way of building a city... How did you fill in all the water?

[Krocketneo]

By using a game genie code for a infinite landfill gifts.

[Falendia]

is with debug Menu created ? right ?

[jairtorres289]

can you give me some secrets to get a good city???

[Microsoftultimatefan]

Don't put in buildings before you can't afford them. Buildings like the police department have a funding cost. Be sure you can pay the funding cost. You can reduce the funding cost, but that will reduce the efficiency of the building.

[jairtorres289]

great did you have somenthing more??? for example there's no roads how did you do that??? and how did you do to get all that money without any cheat?

[Microsoftultimatefan]

You should start off with roads. They pollute but they're also cheaper. Railroads also have a higher funding cost. (I think.) So as your income gets higher. Replace your roads with railroads. railroads don't pollute. You should be able to re-place ALL of your roads by the time your city is finished. Fire departments also have a funidng cost. If you wish to find out the funding cost of a building. Put it in your city and wait until the end of the year. (Until the tax window shows up.)

[Microsoftultimatefan]

Are you talking about in this video? Because I didn't make it. The more zones you put in. The more money comes into your city. You can adjust how much money you're getting from zones by changing the tax rate. (The higher it is. The more money you get.) How ever. If you raise the taxes to high. Then your sims will get mad because they wont pay for those high taxes. So your demand will go below zero and a ton of people will leave your city. Most sims feel that a 7% tax rate is fair.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

Other buildings will bring money into your city such as the casino or the zoo. The money collected from those buildings will be added to your sepcial income.

[jairtorres289]

wow man thanks....

[Microsoftultimatefan]

Your welcome. And your pretty fast at responding to messages.

[HinesBrad]

I have so many questions.....

How did you get water onto a free map? (or so many free land spaces on a water map)? How did you beat the limit of three gifts per type per map? How did you get zones to develop without transportation? How did you get land value to tweek at the edge of the map to have tall commercial zones right next to fully developed Industrial Zones?

Amazing. Neat city!

[Josyphilis]

After tweaking everything I can think of in the game, I just can't imagine this being done on the console. The nuclear plants are decimated, and then fixed into perfect positions; basically, you've blown the limit on every gift. This just does not seem possible without cheating; please, tell me how the fuck you did it.

[MDConker]

I wonder if 10K is possible.

[qwer2190]

yes it is i did 14.5k

[tttc]

I think you mean 1 million, in other words 1 000k

[MDConker]

Yes... of course.

[matthayden4]

Megaropolis....?

[PorkytheHedgehog]

I think you're way past 7k. >.>

[CaptainArcaus]

Does nobody else notice the fact he has about fifteen Police Headquarters?

People are gullible.

[Ike1694]

i am angrey because you dont have the music for it but still nice job at trying to get there

[secretofevermore12]

COOL CITY

[Cephas1029]

You get the large parks by building a ton of park land early on in the game. Just build it anywhere after you do the money cheat.

If you play without the cheat, the best thing to do is build roads early on, then the city gives you casinos that rake in the cash.

Great city building BTW!

[staxstix]

my highest was 400k, but then i realized my map was too small :/ still, one question: how do you get all these parks (with the lake in it). i always wanted more, but only got one.

[daddymack7]

the more parks you buy and place the higher the chance you will get a big park as a gift.

[damiendamz]

well how come u've got only PD hq ? is that a code ?

[NeoNintendo]

O_o that town looks kinda effed up to me...

and lmao at that statistics! 700,000 people and not a single school and only one hospital. You gotta bunch of stupid people crammed in there. XD

[cuervocorazon]

Lol the highest I ever got was 158000 you are just crazy!!!!!!!!

[geoffds]

I once reached the 500k mark using this same map (#61) but fell below and was never able to reach it again. What makes your case particularly crazy is that you managed 700k even with all those undeveloped residential squares.

[qwer2190]

I stopped this Meg at 900k, not that i couldnt grow bigger, is that i don't have anymore time to put on it.

[JAVHC]

So Why Does It Say School? Can You Put A School in?

[qwer2190]

Residencial zone can eventualy devlop into school...

[JENSSCHLAU]

I played Sim City on SNES but you are a REAL GENIUS !!! Congratulations.

[0ShadowJake0]

Wow dude, you make a great city!

5/5 stars!

[mrvolax]

lol FINALY got a mega today! i tried this like 10 fkin years ago and got 497k and couldn't jam another person in. i didn't play the game for 10 years after that lol but i finaly decided to give it a go after seeing some of the mega's on youtube. i didn't use ar or zone stacking to get the mega either.

[qwer2190]

you can achieve 6k to 7k without stacking or tricks, just be sure to use the land wisely

[mrvolax]

how did you get so many large parks?

[qwer2190]

i did 14.5k
