SimCity™ 2000 Special Edition

Like many others, I grew up playing Sim City 2000 and it was great. Better leave the childhood memories as is, and skip the purchase of this game. Save yourself time from wanting to pull your hair out as you get the city going and the screen freezes.

Excellent city builder/planner but there are much, much better alternatives now.

This is the best city builder after SimCity 3000.

I grew up playing this game in rotation with Command & Conquer and TIE Fighter as a kid. I've spent many many hours getting lost in this game and it still holds up very well today. The pixel art is beautiful and the overall aesthetic just screams mid-90s PC gaming. Very comfy. I don't get the people who are leaving 1 star reviews, just because they prefer the Windows 95 version over the DOS version. It's the exact same game. The pixels aren't quite as sharp in the DOS version, but this is barely noticable. Just play it. It was definitely worth the 1.49 I spent.

I've read this issue from others as well: Citizens are not moving in, population remains 0 although electricity, water is in, I have roads, etc. I did everything like in old times. (Win 10)
