SimCity™ 2000 Special Edition

complex but not forcing you to do a lot of overthinking. Just enjoyable and addictive

Installation doesn't work. Gets to 2% then tells me to $%&% off. Waste of money.

I write this review as I download it. Tuesdays are fun days for me as I love to see what new game gog.com has to offer. I squealed in delight and had to make a double take to make sure I was seeing correctly. SimCity 2k was one of only three games on my childhood powermac (Syndicate and Themepark being the other two; yes, I had a blessed childhood), and it by far received more attention than anything. If you've played any of the series, you'll be quite comfortable here. Compared to 4 or 3k, you'll find this to be more simple, but you'll also find a more seamless experience, and one where building is put at the forefront. Easily one of the best games to come to good old games.

Dont ask me what a reticulating spline is but thats what gal who talks as you start off the Game say along with other gobbedly goop. Ahh memories of one of the greatest city builders around. Arcologies? and all sorts of neat stuff that version 3 and 4 lacked. With Sim Helicopter you could build a city and then fly right thru it though allowances had to be made for the tech at the time so if you built a zoo, it would look like farm animals in a pasture. But you owned this world thru and thru. I still have my originals with Streets of Sim City, a real letdown, SimCopter and all the thick guides that Maxis use to be famous for. If mine dosent work when I dust off the box I may have to download this here to replace the original CD.
