SimCity™ 2000 Special Edition

Its a great game, But this is a crappy dos version. The windows version is far superior but seems to have a save game bug in windows 7. And so I suppose it was simply easier to package up the sluggish, feature reduced, clunky, disappointing dos boxed version than create a patch. Still, its a really fun game.

I always loved SimCity and SC2000 was the absolute best of the bunch, so I was really looking forward to getting to grips with it after so many years..... ... However. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if there is a fault with it running on my system (vista) but I cannot, for the life of me, get a city to develop... After naming a city I place a power station, industrial zone, and a couple of roads and I wait... And wait... And wait... And wait... With absolutely nothing happening. I will have another go later but I can see it being a permanent problem....

This is the game I have probably sunk more time into than any other game ever. This includes all RPGs and most fighting games. I'm talking thousands of hours. The sequels never dragged me in like this one. Truly glad to see this game added with the likes of Alpha Centauri (another time sink), Master of Orion 2 and Privateer. If you're looking for something to eat your time, look no further.

while i didnt get this game from GOG, i recently found my still working copy, oh the times it brought back, from trying to get my city to run, to getting fed up and causing wide spread disaster

Excellent game, needs no introduction. Another thing of note is that this is version with WillTV... the videos with Will Wright discussing maxis at that point in time such a trip down memory lane!
