Simcity 2000 intro

[aaronfowlowmusic]

After Sim City 2000, the games just got a little too over-complicated. I like the simplicity of everything before, and including Sim City 2000. But my fave was Sim City on SNES.

[KnaberArtist]

Forgot to mention, but the Galaxy also has 5 ARMS. Look close to the core.

[KnaberArtist]

So that's how he got there...

Steve uses the staff of life on a Nondescript planet to build a city.

[LouisAndPillz]

Is it me?

Or does that UFO look like "Steve" from Spore?

[PotatoeBatteryGlad0s]

@LouisAndPillz i think it is.

Now on to the steve subject.

IM STEVE!

[Armystuntman]

Why is the Playstation version of Simcity 2000 remind me a lot of SimCity 3000 intro, along with the music?

[VideoGameGet]

Galaxy = Spore, Ship = Steve .... WTF

[ArMANRazoR]

Never saw this. I might play ripped version.

[sharpshot64]

Reticulating Splines

WTF DOES THAT MEAN?

[Ricostron]

@sharpshot64 LOL i remember that.

i think it means to show the players at the bottom of the screen what folders the game is trying to load. (landscape, buildings etc.)

[cherryskittlez17]

good intro for old game i have this game and its pretty bad graphicks made in 1994 that intro looks lke 2001

[AtomicBlizzard12]

I dug this game up about 3 weeks ago, haven't played it since I was 8, I'm so angry at myself for letting this game go by the wayside so I could play call of duty, sim city will you take me back?

[CornTasteGood]

I remember watching my dad playing this game ALONG time ago :')

[sofiafatalle]

They should make a SIMFARM!

That was hell of a game :D

[hujgup]

0:05 Maxis is so sneaky with its referances.

[PacMani]

I never had green grass.

[pokamonmaster1997]

00:08 Old SPORE! lol

[marto214]

It brought a tear to my eye...

[AfroSamuraiTheMaster]

i still have this game on a floppy from 1995

[StarCreme]

Sim City 2000 > Spore

UGH SPORE YUCK

[19jesse97]

@StarCreme

have you even played spore?

[StarCreme]

@19jesse97

i have played spore.

i can tell you disagree with my negative opinion of that game.

i perhaps wrongly expected it to be an evolution simulator, which it is not. i was put off by the simple gameplay.

no offense to people who enjoy it. may you have many more years of fun.

[19jesse97]

@StarCreme

Ok I understand. I really liked spore, but it's just my opinion.

[81camarosteven]

great intro

[LightRP]

Doesn't look like that in the game. XD

[rickyhacker2]

WTF is doing steve there? he was in the center of the galaxy in spore

[TheFilip9696]

@rickyhacker2 A popular theory is that Steve was some kind of trader that went to the center of the galaxy, but was for some reason caugth by the grox (another theory is that he is Spode, and in Scrols of Faith 7, the zealots say that groxes dont understand Spode). Maybe what we see here is him travelling towards the galactic core, where he will be stuck for a looong time greeting anyone who makes it past the grox to offer them a breakfast that doesnt exist(!). Thats at least what I think.

[krux02]

my version of sim city 2000 did not have this intro I am watching this the first time.

[CaptainViral84]

we should start a campain at firaxis to make thier own verson of simcity

[utubeb14]

what woulds a 1993 still shrink wraped copy of this be worth?

[Gurblet]

Steve. It all makes sense now.

[PriusRider]

different intro on Sega Saturn.

[HyperRyun]

I watch this video, look to my right at the CD rack, view the third-to-last CD, and smile. Then I'm brutally assaulted by a nostalgia attack.

RETICULATING SPLINES

[nasholmarn94sweden]

SC4 was the last good sim city.

[jes9044]

Steves!!!!!

[oskachu]

You can see where spore got the galaxy idea from

[TheFingledorf]

Best newspaper articles ever.

[chrispy199]

unreall ahahha

[halowraith1]

Steve! can i have the staff of life?

[gantispen]

bad intro

[TylerTheKool]

Hey, thats Steves ship!!!!!!

[cancerman50]

The good old days. Anybody out there ever have Jetighter?

[dragoffire3]

I use to love this game when I was little.

[SchoolSarge]

"Reticulating splines!"

I also seem to remember that the UFO had "MAXIS" written on the side (you could see it on the cover art). I guess they didn't want to leave any chance of misidentification.

[BerryJoy]

this title gave me chills back in the day.

soooooooooo good

[Falador321]

i remembered this from the ps1 version

[brickman409]

how many floppys was this game on or was it cd only

[eeyk1993]

its is one cd i has buy it in 1993/4 for 55 Gulden

35 Euro

[cancerman50]

I got 1 CD.

[toshiraka]

simcity 2000 is great as well as sim city 3000 and simcity 4000. these are great games, but Tilted Mill screwed it up with simcity societies. i think that these types of games (like simcity) are cool using simcity 2000, 3000 graphics.

[racer927]

Hey its steve at 0:05

[jirka478]

Steve from Spore :D

[CaptainViral84]

talk about the good old days of gameing witch is all about good story telling and solid game play not all about graphics how is it to day

[SkullFace72]

@CaptainViral84 I hope you know about Minecraft ;)

[coondiggity]

@CaptainViral84 wtf story telling was there to Sim City 2k?

[CaptainViral84]

@coondiggity Thier is no story telling in SimCity,But how i am saying it's amzing to see the diffence in video games from to day and back to the 90s.

[jamesmp5k]

@CaptainViral84 I believe back in the day this was pushing graphics, I remember it being pretty awesome and I was amazed, I had to go out and get a $300 card to run this game perfectly.

[phreakindee]

Wow, I just realized how well they made Steve from Spore work with this original intro. Not only is the galaxy shown here from Spore (ours), but "Steve" the UFO enters directly into the galactic core, just like in Spore. HOW AWESOME. Maxis, I would make love to you.

[RExplosionStudios]

Steve's entering the wrong galaxy btw

[Electricspaceodyssey]

to bad maxis was bought out by EA and ruined - then EA let titled mills studios make the most recent "sim city" game (in no way directed/made/produced by maxis or will wright at all) and that recently will wright announced he was leaving maxis.

[phreakindee]

If you look at history, it was EA that saved Maxis. In 1997, they were going bankrupt and put out a ton of crappy games and were going nowhere. EA bought them, saved them, put out SimCity 3000 and The Sims and saved the company and made them great. Then, they offloaded the staff into Sims-only development, Spore didn't do so well, Wright left and now Tilted Mill made a SimCity that wasn't SimCity. No, they saved Maxis. But they only kept what made them the most money and let the rest go to crap.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

yes - they "saved" maxis - tilted mills making sim city is them being "saved" - since they were "saved" - it is now a hollow shell of what maxis truly was and stood for. - if it was that bad (which it was getting to be - money wise) - maxis probably should have just closed up shop temporarily until things got better, or just straight up altogether - would have been better than seeing SCS - don't get me wrong, it looks like it might be a good game, but in no way a TRUE SIM CITY game.

$aved....

[gsp1995]

Sim City 2000 is related to Spore D=

[FallenRise2012]

hey! thats steve from spore going into the center of the galexy!

[methos319]

I have this game im trying to get all simcities on one computer

[machinaecity]

(portguese/)translate if you can or use a program translator

nossa nessa epoca quando lanço essa versão..esse intro que começa com uma galáxia, pode ter sido uma mensagem subliminar, que anos mais tarde lançaria o Spore..Mas é realmente estranho, do pessoal da maxis ter intenção de fazer uma intro começando com uma imagem da galaxia e o steve pra variar, e q mais tarde

[FallenRise2012]

ours in that epoca when I throw that version.. that intro that begins with a galaxy, may have been a message subliminar, that later years would throw the Spore.. But is really strange, of the personnels of the have intention of do an intro beginning with an image of the galaxia and the steve for the vary, and q later

i dont think you spelled some words right

[AaronMeaney9]

Its Steve...

Wait....

Now an Idea just come into my head...

I think you play AS Steve in the Sim Games!

O.O

[Kimoshnikov]

OMGZ STEVE

i love maxis

hate ea.

[islandinthesea]

Why do you hate EA?

[Electricspaceodyssey]

essentially - we will be lucky if we ever see another TRUE sim city ever again. EA bought it out and killed it.

R.i.P Sim City - also will wright announced in april 2009 he was LEAVING Maxis/Ea.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

the most recent 'sim city' game wasn't even really a sim city game - it was made by a COMPELETLY different company and under no direction of will wright or maxis. 'sim city societies' is the sham of the century.

[TarEldamir]

Becouse they make half-ass games.

[Regenmann111]

cuz ea sucks a lot

[davidcambra]

Awesome! I played this game for hours on end when I was a kid.

[jetex1911]

some say the UFO is Steve from spore. i believe it IS Steve

[RExplosionStudios]

btw the UFO in the Intro is Steve from SPORE

[metroidkid1992]

lol yea steve

[camillalpz]

When I bought this game I thought it was gonna be all about SIMS 2 AND STUFF...It was NOT..I regret eve3r buying it Oh well v.v

[RExplosionStudios]

WTF Is with you? SIMCITY 2000 = Simcity 2

[camillalpz]

No I wanted Sims 2 not SimCITY 2

[MrNickWright]

The Sims and SimCity are two seperate games. If it wasn't for SimCity 2000's financial success there might not even of been a The Sims. Sure it looks like low res poo-doo now but back then SC2000 was one of my favorites.

[VideoGameGet]

you just a faggot who dont like will wrights he made sim city and sims but ea just kill maxis because we retrided

[camillalpz]

Woah I didn't know he made The Sims.Well thanks for telling me.And thanks for calling me a faggot. :) Have a great day!

[VideoGameGet]

sorry for calling a faggot y dint know that you dint like built games... sorry :D

[Stefnir94]

This game is 16 years old you know.

[camillalpz]

It's just that I don't like building games.I can't say that I don't like the game?I only enjoy it a tiny bit.But yeah.If you guys want it for Ds I can sell it to you.15 bucks.That's as low as I'm goin.

[KingLord32]

Where You live and i will buy it from yeah i'll give you 20 bucks how's dat?

[camillalpz]

Well actually I lost it..I wish I lost it on purpose...Sorry.

[KingLord32]

Aww Man....small things get lost easly..

[lesliekwan80]

reticulating splines

[RExplosionStudios]

The galaxy there is the Sims Galaxy, where Spore doesn't take place but the Sims & Simcity does.

[snipperbes]

hehe, old days of 16 bit colors

[StewieGriffin44]

Ah, Steve. So I guess the Sim series galaxy with the Sims and SimCity and all related games is also in the Galaxy that Spore is in.

[Games5522]

You can't honestly say you've never wondered what it's like to be in power?

[hellofer123]

i like the game so much!!!

[linkinparkfan107]

y does this have 74k views?

[BattleGayTheFaggot]

because god said it should have 74k views!

[TheKoolkid96]

LOL

[Martinezinc]

Hey friends Maxis is EA

[morrowindsky]

Maxis was bought by EA, and I think that was pretty sad. Already, several classics of theirs has been either "simplified" beyond playability or just dropped completely. Look at SimCity. A once proud game, brought to... horrible pseudosequels and shitty portable ports. I never thought they'd do this, but they made the deal, and they're paying dearly.

[FFKonoko]

@morrowindsky Simplified? SimCities Societies looks more like a clusterfuck of urban planning complications rather than building a city.

[morrowindsky]

@FFKonoko Ah, point well made.

I don't foresee anything good happening with the Sim series now...

[oceanwave20]

@morrowindsky i thought Sim City 4 was Nice

[oceanwave20]

the game doesnt look THAT nice

[linkinparkfan107]

its not

[TCFan25]

I remember our teacher back in year 12 using this program as a training tool for urban geography lessons. Quite enjoyable and fun looking back on it.

[bbglas007]

That's wikid man!

Sounds like a cool teacher.

[morrowindsky]

I'M HAVING A MAXISGASM!

[nerdelicious5]

Me too!

[Talos457]

Im freaking out man! :D

[killallianceftw]

or whichever way it goes but its in SPORE nonetheless

[killallianceftw]

omg that UFO is from SPORE

[Labtop215]

No, the spore is from ufo.

I mean the ufo from spore is actually from sim city 2000.

[Alblehm]

juhu

[alphamone]

why did i never see this when playing SC2k?

[RaleTheBlade]

You have to have the CD-ROM version and have the CD-ROM inserted. It'll play automatically when you start the game and you can either click through it or watch it.

[ZebraFrogThe]

life staff in action anyone?

[parrot998]

The UFO is in the center of the galaxy in spore!

[Kation666]

Its Steve!!

[StewieGriffin44]

Steve's awesome.

"Join us. JOIN US. Muahahahaha!

...

Just kidding. It's not scary."

Lol. My fave part of his speech.

[CHUBBLE117]

well its maxis why wouldn't they put steve in?

[IndysBack]

lol, true.

[lotusbandicoot]

Sort of reminds me of the SimCopter intro.

[LastTrueChamp]

who the hell plays simcopter!?!

[lotusbandicoot]

Uhhh... me... but it doesn't run very well on modern computers.

[MrPsychic8472]

I used to play it, I still have it sitting on a cd rack.

[danielhoutx]

Simcopter was great! you could fly thru your city that was created in SImcity 2000.

[JoshuaH688]

Simcopter was cool, but I never liked the sort of dismal misty atmosphere and poor textures. Not bright and cheerful like it would look in SC2000... but considering the era and what was possible back then, a great game. If Maxis stayed on track, would be totally cool for us to have a fully 3-D SimCity (NOT SOCIETIES) with a fly/drive option in it.

[arbonite]

o_O I don't remember seeing that intro. 'course I had that building modification expansion, but still...

[viennnnna]

i didnt like this effects...but i didnt have the game i have also the sim city 4 game...and i think the ss4 is better....than the ss2000...however ^^

[sunnymiu]

The visual effect are wonderful... at long time ago =D

I love SimCity 4 more than before's

[cyborgtroy]

It's do fucking funny to watch FMVs that prolly took days to render that my new laptop could do in real time :D I love Moore's law!

[DrClay999]

I cant get this game to work anymore :(

[gthreek]

YEAH! CITY BUILDAN!

[cwidman99]

haha...

Priscilla

[Krisserryder]

this is a cool game

;)

[Rottingham]

Since when did Simcity 2000 have an intro? I never saw this before.

[hirudold]

I bet this intro comes from the "EA Classics" version of Sim City 2000

[randomforum]

Simcity 2000 had an intro but you who didn't see the intro had a cracked version, not the original!

[Rottingham]

...No I'm pretty sure I bought my version. Came with SCURK and everything.

[ThePhoenixArisen]

Nope...bought the game when it first came out(when it still ran in DOS). No intro(no SCURK even, at this point), just the opening picture with the dialog box saying who owned the game. This is a later edition.

[thejobloshow]

Ah yes, the days of...

C:\> cd games

C:\GAMES\>cd sc2000

[AMV12S]

@thejobloshow I still do that... #lol

[smartbomb33]

@thejobloshow

Omg. I think I just had a flashback.

[comanche119]

@thejobloshow use DOSbox to run simcity 2000 :)

[dennyfrontier]

@thejobloshow I still have all of my sims game. All the way from Classic

[MasterLucas92]

@thejobloshow you can still do that if you want to.

[FaberBollonius]

that's the playstation 1 version

[AmericanResolve2]

thats odd, i thought there was another intro t song to sim city 2000

[DrSurprise]

there is a difference. what you heard was the theme song. this is this intro. see my video called "sim city 2000 theme song and intro". it will answer your questions

[GaryGarratt]

Societies is dreadful, I wish I never gave it the time of day. I was sceptical before it was released, but I wanted to at least try it. Awful game. My favourites are sim city 4 and the original snes version.

[elitecombt]

sim city 4 the best game ever but the ppl was more intelligent in sim city 3

[AmericanResolve2]

how so?

[donmont10]

simcity 4 i think is better because it has better graphics

[golfcrazenes18]

i agree

[Star3Wars3]

I want to dowload this game SOOOOOOOOOO much..

[AmericanResolve2]

trust me no you dont!

get an updated game such as sim city 4

WARNING: DO NOT BUY SIM CITY SOCIETIES!

[AmericanResolve2]

you actually like a game where the cities look like they came from a fairytale?

SC societies is bullshit!

[Star3Wars3]

Not all cities are like that. I like make a city that is realistic. I hate the candy-cane montian **** too, but you don't have to use them.

[triforceofgaming101]

Even though you can't make your city buildings getting get bigger and expand, but the game's still good since you get to build your own kind of city other then just a regular city. Medeval, circus, and such. Why bother calling it a piece of s***?

[Star3Wars3]

Your his brother...?

[FreedomGotAnAK]

Also, you can treat your citizens like absolute shit by destroying their homes, MAKING disasters happen, be so much of an asshole, you'd make Pinochet blush, the people will still love you.

[XenoTygax]

those buildings are weird.they can bounce

[Giveup900]

3000 Unlimited are way better than 2000's
