The Game that really changed my life!

I played the Original Sim City, but it wasn't nearly as good as SC2.. This is the Old School Dos version So there isn't many cheats for it "torg" without the quotes.. but eventually you'll get all the rewards anyways so no need to cheat for them.. this Money cheat is just nice, I gave myself $15 mill.. That is what a real city uses in a year not $20k.. The whole game plays just as it did 20 years ago.. I was 11 when it came out.. Hard to believe next year will bring a TRUE sequel to the series.. Sim City Societies was a REAL BAD JOKE. I can't wait for SIM CITY in 2013.. They are axing the 5.. dunno why.. Anyways, if your a TRUE Maxis FAN.. Buy this game TODAY... Don't think about it.. DO IT..

Still great at 0.5 fps

I played this on a computer with a 386 *SX*, 16 colour video driver and no sound and still loved it. It's a great thing to have DRM-free for when/if new Sim City's servers go down!

The reason I bought my first computer

I first was exposed to PCs and computer gaming through this addictive and endless little title. I would rent for hours down at the local internet cafe and get called to the phone for the 'too late for supper' speech from my wife. Dollars wasted until I bought my first machine, easily the biggest drain on my wallet since Pacman, (though not since). This city builder/sandbox game has no overall structure as in no defined end point, only a series of starting points. What happens is up to you. I have since discovered and owned the precursor to this,SimCity, the enhanced version on CD with the video inserts. I know this is worth your time and money. I would encourage all to play this classic from the beginnings of Windows gaming. The graphics may seem kind of dated but as you build and then watch as the cracks develop and the crumbling starts to get faster than you can fix it, you will begin to understand the Evil Genius of Will Wright as you can no longer resist tinkering for 'just a few more minutes' and realize dawn has turned into tomorrow.

Another classic for the ages

Sim City is one of the many long running series out there. Before there was Sim City 3000 or the Sims there was Sim City. In Sim City 2000 you can enjoy creating your own thriving city. The simplicity of the graphics makes the game almost relaxing to the music. Half the fun of the game is the option to generate your very own tragic events like tornadoes, hurricanes and alien invasions.
