Hey,


Any of you guys Sim City? I like doing Sim City 2000 (old yea) and Sim City 4.

[Geoffrey S]

Loved SimCity 2000 when I was younger. Haven't played for ages though.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

gets kinda boring, but it's fun thogugh.

[Xehh II]

I love Sim City, I still play Sim City 4.

[UltraWar]

I still have my boxed Sim City 2000 Game.

I still have my boxed Sim City 2000 Game.

still have Sim City 2000 and the Orginail Sim CIty on the Floppy Disks

[Bellum]

I've played all of them. SimCity 2000 is by far the best.

[Xehh II]

Why is that?

[Veho Nex]

easiest learning curve and those fantastic news articles ahhhh the sweet sweet nector of SimCity2000

[Mithradates]

Aye that was my first computer game and i played to death. I think the complete wackiness of it is what made it fun.

[Bellum]

Exactly. SimCity 2000 is the one that does everything right.

[Xehh II]

Is SimCity available anywhere?

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

I know you can get a free copy of Simcity 2000 somehwere,I get you the link from my game design book

[Xiahou]

I have SimCity4 + Rush Hour expansion. The game was lots of fun, but also intricately detailed and a massive time sink- so I haven't played for awhile.

[Kekvit Irae]

The only SimCity game I was able to grasp fully was the original SimCity, and only on the SNES. My cities in SimCity 2000 kept dying, but I loved it anyway.
Never really got into SimCity 3 or 4.

[TinCow]

I was a big fan of SimTower and SimAnt, as well as the original SimCity with the futuristic buildings expansion pack. Future Europe was my favorite.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

SimTower was fun, but I always went broke

[Kekvit Irae]

SimTower was fun, but I always went broke

Two words: Business offices. Lots of them.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Two words: Business offices. Lots of them.

4 Words really. 6 if you add them all


Joke, they suppose to be funny, Laugh



But Yea, I know, I always did that, and I would last, then I would go broke later on. In Sim City, I would try to build commcianl and idustrial zones, the Comm never would harley build, I wouldj ust have some industrial and alot of houses, and still go broke. I gave up playing it.

Simcity: Societies is being developed right now. I don't think Maxis is doing it, but it resembles SimCity in many ways.

No more zoning, now you build individual houses, businesses, etc, and you can follow your sims more closely than ever before.

Things you do, and choices you make are shown in the city graphics. If you build a lot of corporations and police stations, your city will start to resemble a police state, and the buildings will start to reflect this.

[Bellum]

Yeah, I know. Can't say I'm all that exited.

Now Spore, I'm exited about!

[Bootsiuv]

Agreed, I haven't been too into Sim City since the early 2000's. Sim City 2000 for the playstation was my favorite game at one time, before I became a pc man.

It's another one of those "been there, done that" sort of things. In the past decade, so many new and interesting games have been released (think how much hullabaloo was made about Age of Empires, Resident Evil 1, or Diablo 2), but everyone is fairly familiar with these things now....and most other games follow the same basic diagrams that these ground-breaking games forged.

I know I'm in the mood for something new and original, but societies doesn't look like it will deliver very much.

[Mikeus Caesar]

While Sim Societies looks interesting, it doesn't seem very Sim City like. Too cartoony. Spore will definitely be where it's at. As for the other Sim City games - Sim City 4 was a massive time sink for me. I'm a complete perfectionist control freak when it comes to games like Sim City, so i was in heaven.

Talking of which, what happened to Spore? All news pertaining to it has stopped being released.

[Bellum]

There is still some news. The most reliable information I have seen puts spore at an April release. It was mentioned earlier, and then Will Wright did not deny a 'Spring '08' release when it was mentioned in a Gamer Head (a show I'd never heard of) interview.

News stopped a little less than a month ago. There was a playable (a fully playable build from start to finish for the journalists) version out for the Leipzig convention, but after they all finished writing their articles, three dev videos, and the gamerhead interview, I haven't seen anything new.

SIm City for PS2? didn't konw that. was it harder then then PC version? I'm a PC fan, and can't see using a control thingy to do it.

[Kekvit Irae]

I do not suggest anyone gets the new SimCity game for the DS for the same reason I do not suggest ZooTycoon for the DS: it's just a rehash of the original with features missing and poor graphics, and it costs the same as a normal DS game.

I should have probably said Playstation 1.

As far as I can remember, the game was nearly identical to the PC version.

And yes, getting used to using a control pad was somewhat awkward, but I was an avid Playstation gamer in those days(aaah, memories of Twisted Metal 2 go through my mind...good times), so it wasn't really an issue.

I also had Warcraft II for my PS1, which was also identical to the pc version AFAIK.
