Works Perfect!

Many SimCity fans will have experienced the aged original SimCity 3000 code crashing their game on modern operating systems however this is different! Its pretty much a updated copy of the game for modern computers that works perfectly like once it originally did! It runs well using Windows 10 and avoids those game crashes in-game that most modern systems experience with the aged coding that isnt updated. It also still includes the Building Architect tool and Scenario Editor which also work fine. The only downside is that it only supports 4:3 resolutions however its easily managable. Overall it works perfectly and allows people like me to relive their childhood! Thanks GOG! XD

Arguably the best City-Building Game.

Work's like a charm, this one. Brings me back to the good ol' days when I was playing this a long with a few building games like Stronghold, Cossack, Age of Empires and whatnot. It's a challenging game and it could be overwhelming to new players, but once you get the hang of it, you'll pretty much enjoy every single minute of it. Oh, and the soundtrack? Godly. Jazz is a personal favorite of mine, so I'm overjoyed. Most likely the best SimCity game in all.

MY CHILDHOOD RETURNED!

I have tried soooo hard to get my original copy of Simcity 3000 to work on modern PC's but with no luck. For some reason or another, it just would not work or work incorrectly. Until I bought it from this GOG.com site and I could not be happier...i spent hours and hours as a child playing this game and I am happy I get to do that again!! Thank you GOG!

Great game but it will randomly crash

This is the game I knew and loved. It's cheap and it is worth more than you'll pay for it. But it's not perfect; there are several frustrating issues and bugs. The worst are crashes. It will randomly drop to the desktop every few hours, so you need to save often or else you can lose a significant amount of progress. Additionally, some of the new Unlimited Features are annoying, like the Thanksgiving Parade. This just has a loud repetitive marching drum and lasts 5+ minutes. I don't care if the benefits are really good; not waiting through that again. Game is great but needs work on compatibility.

Most Polished of the Series

The one I meant to buy when I bought SimCity 4. SimCity 3000 is the perfect sequel to 2000 - slightly more features while adding a lot of depth. I personally think this one is the best of the series.
