This is what I miss the most about the original versions of Sim City; you could view the terrain and developments directly from above and make everything fit better together. A proper "satellite view" for SC4 would have been awesome.
best friggin sim city ever. im buying my son a snes for the holidays, and to be honest, its probably more for me than him, because of THIS game :D :D :D
FUN FACT! The idea of building residential zones into 9x9 squares was actually an idea invented by the Song Dynasty. A dynasty that lived in Medieval China in the mid 900s. Also, commercial zones were becoming known back then because of the Song Dynasty.
I have not ever played this version but good god those music tracks rule. Especially the title theme and the one with the printer. Even if they're your standard Nintendo stuff, or maybe exactly because of that.
I'am from germany and my parents bought me sim city the us version from a holiday :)) ... so I learned english at a time where kids in germany dont learn english. :D good times. <3
@geckoboy222 When I first played Sim City 2000... I thought the separate buildings (eg police and fire) were the houses... and it took ages to understand the "zones".
@geckoboy222 I remember many games not even able to understand the speaches, sometimes having to look dictionary up, but still managed to get thru them..
Nice. I used the exact same building formula, with the 3x3 cube and reward in the center. Never was able to make a Megalopolis, though. I've even tried the infinite money cheat, but still couldnt get it. Think I needed the Las Vegas map, but never did get it.
I normally don't care for the graphics of games, but shouldn't this game been able to contain more detail in its textures? I mean, it looks like a NES game. Otherwise, it's awesome!!
i never cared for the practice island map i found it very disturbing. i was always able to reach the goal of 30,000 people in a few years but. i did not like it becasue in real life a small island like this out in the middle of the pacific ocean such as Nauru would not be a city like this 8 zones and you would be fine 4 residential 2 commercial and 2 industrial and theres a village like you would find on a romote island. destroying a pretty little island and making it into that is unrealistic.
Yeah i've spend nite playing this on my game genie with fast year code.I could earn the mario statue after doing the city like in the Nintendo Power one and the 999999 cash trick helped alot :D
i like sims, i have simcity for playstation1 when i was like 8/9 whatever, but i never played on it. never. i dont know why, it looks an ok game! obvs i dont have the playstation anymore - obselete! - so its a shame i never went on it. ive played sims since i was 10, and im 13, and i dont plan to stop. <3
I got a complete copy for $1.99 yesterday at my local Disk Replay. I remember playing the PC version back in the day. This will certainly take me back.
Jezz, I have simcity 4, Sims 2(all of them), and simcity 3000. This is really old. Now look at the technology today, It's better graphics, but still, WOW!
I remember playing the second sim city because it came out a year after i had been born, I never played this because I didn't even exist when this came out haha
I'm a Mega Drive fanboy, but I've been playing this on Virtual Console and I have to admit its pretty great. A very very early example of a PC > console port that actually works.
when i was a kid i sometimes didn't push "start" at the start screen and just listened to the music with the beautiful skyline in the backround.. for hours
Sim City is the only good Sim City game. The rest after it are all overly complicated bullshit. Sim City has everything we need within reason including proper difficulty.
i think simcity 2000 is the perfect blend of classicness, graphics and options
the original simcity game is like.... way to old for me its like looking at a blue screen when your computer crashed and wondering what to do lol just my opinion anyway
A great game for kids. This is definitely a learning tool and a fun one.
I remember playing this when I was I was 12. I couldn't sleep one night and played Sim City. I had lots of fun with this game. I later moved on to sim city 2000.
A government must be careful when allowing a city to sell land to the private party. You are the government, you must understand that land is for everybody. When you sell it to a private company, who knows what they will do with that land.
Wow, I remember playin this whenever I was like seven, I played it all the way up until I loned it to a douche and he never gave it back... I miss this game alot....
Let's Play the Philosophy Video Game. Using a good human heart in everything we do, we better the world. Let's begin establishing farms, building clean carbon capture electricity plants, planting trees for lumber instead of cutting down natural habitat, and turn sea-water into fresh water for drinking, planting and hydrogen fuel. We will expose the currency and organize it so that prosperity will be among all people.
I got a copy of this game at a good will for $5.00 on a 3.5 and a 5.0. It was like new still in the box with all the directions. I still have it and would not take a million dollars for it. Unless someone offered.
haha,i just found this covered with dust in one of my lockers.i remember playing it when i was a little child without even knowing what i was doing :)
@RapiDEraZeR Ah, I too remember playing this brilliant game and scratching my head, but I continued playing anyway.
Hell, I still don't know what the fuck I'm doing in these games and I'm 14 years old. But, man, I love 'em anyway.
And didn't this version just have some awesome-ass music? I remember just sitting and listening to the intro music... just fantastic masterpieces, really.
I dont like the way you zone your lots... residential and commerical would do better away from industrial... my residential lots would be near water and industrial would be more inland.... football stadium could obviously be pff the priority list
Nintendo nailed it when they did this game. Pefect blend of complexity and simplicity. The PC versions are a hassle and very cumbersome. I hate all versions except this one
and hey, when you will play the game with FULL money, press the L or R button and hold them, when the years end, take the fonds down to zero and open the budget window again.
take the fonds up to 100 and close the window, when you press the button no more, you have 999.999 money :D
but, when you will play the game really, dont make this little trick ^^
i probably sound pathetic but i just downloaded this game from vc i had never played it b4 and it is awesome i started a city and now i have a metropolis.
The big problem in this game, is that i can never get the industrial zones in enough numbers.
I use map 61, the one with the smallest amount of water in the game.
I always build industrial zones around the edges of the screen, with 3 squares (1 zone space) between each. This is never enough, and it's frustrating, because to avoid pollution you have to spread them out ... and that takes up a lot of space....
If you're running on easy mode, you should end up with close to as many Industry Zones as Residential. Sometimes more!! Ignore the complaints about pollution and the black cloud following Wright around. If you build the industry people will come. Pollution or not. Only thing is you'll have more disasters, but Industry is the way to megalopolis. So stack the i-zones as tight as you do residential and always keep R zones at least 2 blocks away from R-zones. C-zones are buffer
@123: The industrials will grow in sections where the R's and C's will not. For example, you'll notice that your property value is always concentrated in a diamond shape towards the center of the map. Put your R's in a diamond shape int he middle. C's radiating around them, and I's on the outside perimeter. When on the Easy setting, your ratio should be 1 res = 1 ind = .3 commercial. Commercial are the weakest zone. They are difficult to develop. Only build C's when the game say so
Okay, i seem to build way too many commercials! And i do know about the pollution, it's annoying to watch the message popup all the time, but it's the only way ^^
Thanks for your tips! But two last q's: 1) What's different in hard mode except having less money? 2) Do you reconstruct i-zones so that they are all high instead of low?
I was born in 1994 and i dont know mutch about the sims city 2000 and the sim city 1 but i played the sims city 3000 , 4 and societies and if you notice from the 3000 you had neibours but you had your city it was like you are closed into your city and barelly the other interfierd mutch but on the 4 they made the cities depend of eatch other...
I remember seeing this game in the video shop and thinking it looked boring. One day I ended up renting and kept it out for days. I had to eventually go buy it as I was spenting a fortune renting it.
Good gracious! Sim City has come a long way lol

take the fonds up to 100 and close the window, when you press the button no more, you have 999.999 money :D
but, when you will play the game really, dont make this little trick ^^

Also, i always keep residential\commercial zones at least 4 squares away from industrial zones and power plants.
Use railroads only, because roads will cause insane pollution later on.
And only nuclear power plants.

The big problem in this game, is that i can never get the industrial zones in enough numbers.
I use map 61, the one with the smallest amount of water in the game.
I always build industrial zones around the edges of the screen, with 3 squares (1 zone space) between each. This is never enough, and it's frustrating, because to avoid pollution you have to spread them out ... and that takes up a lot of space....

all players take the map 61, and have this problem... me too ._.
but i have got to handle this little problem^^
the river shares the map into 2 zones, the little zone down under, build the industrial zones there AND around the map for the megapolis^^
i build it so;
[.i.][.i.][.i.]
[.i.][p.][.i.]
[.i.] = industrial zone
[p.] = police department
but, tries to find your own style, its your town ^^

Tauru,
If you're running on easy mode, you should end up with close to as many Industry Zones as Residential. Sometimes more!! Ignore the complaints about pollution and the black cloud following Wright around. If you build the industry people will come. Pollution or not. Only thing is you'll have more disasters, but Industry is the way to megalopolis. So stack the i-zones as tight as you do residential and always keep R zones at least 2 blocks away from R-zones. C-zones are buffer

Really so? Well, they do always get to the level 4 so maybe it's a good idea.
But what's the difference between easy, medium and hard that way?
And how many c-zones is necessary? Are you saying you need less r-zones than anything else?
123TauruZ321 1 year ago
@123: The industrials will grow in sections where the R's and C's will not. For example, you'll notice that your property value is always concentrated in a diamond shape towards the center of the map. Put your R's in a diamond shape int he middle. C's radiating around them, and I's on the outside perimeter. When on the Easy setting, your ratio should be 1 res = 1 ind = .3 commercial. Commercial are the weakest zone. They are difficult to develop. Only build C's when the game say so

Okay, i seem to build way too many commercials! And i do know about the pollution, it's annoying to watch the message popup all the time, but it's the only way ^^
Thanks for your tips! But two last q's: 1) What's different in hard mode except having less money? 2) Do you reconstruct i-zones so that they are all high instead of low?

I remember seeing this game in the video shop and thinking it looked boring. One day I ended up renting and kept it out for days. I had to eventually go buy it as I was spenting a fortune renting it.
