This Is The Sim City To Have

SC 2000 was the last hurrah of this great game series - subsequent "upgrades" being overloaded, gilded-lily monstrosities which turned the enchantment of the Sim City game model into a dreary chore. Kudos to GOG for scoring another gem. A must-buy.

Many fond memories

This game is a classic. I spent hours on this game as a kid. The steaming pile of **** that EA has recently released is nothing compared to this game. Please bring it to Steam!

Not worth spending your time.

First of all this is the dosbox version which is just worse than the retail version. The game has aged very also. Simcity 3000 or SimCity 4 are both far superiour in their graphical detail and enjoyment.
