SimCity™ 3000 Unlimited

The fact is, some games become immortal parents of a genre for a reason. SimCity embodies that concept, and this iteration is no exception! It may lack some of the more complex options and troubles of the later games, but this is where I feel SC really hit its stride. The earlier games were charming, but this is possibly the first time that playability and enjoyment matched the nostalgic fervor! Happy Building, and may you be showered with simoleons!

I remember the sensation of excitement that I felt when I realised this game was being sold here, so much so that I didn't even wait for a sale. It was money well spent. Glad to say this game runs like a charm on Windows 8, even with several Firefox browser windows open (with several tabs open within each of them), it is just that stable and undemanding. Only really issue is that it doesn't scale well to modern screen resolutions, but I found a solution that works for me quickly enough. Years ago I originally received a CD copy of the game as a present from my father, and I just played it for hours and hours. Whilst my first cities would fall into crippling debt, I didn't care- I was having so much fun. As I became more accquainted with and accustomed to the game's mechanics my enjoyment increased even further as I found new and different ways of creating cities big and small. Some of these previous creations are still around, and I was able to copy them over to my current computer and visit them once again. Pretty good going for a product that is almost 20 years old now...

SimCity™ 3000 Unlimited makes up for a fun time. You'll enjoy the of growing your city and see the tall and beautifull buildings make it's way into your city's horizon. The soundtrack is also worth mentioning, it's so good that you really want to listen it again and again.

Good upgrade from the older ones and more simple than 4. Overall the best SimCity. Good for a few tries but gets old quick.

I have tried a number of workarounds that I found in forums, plus some stuff GOG provided me, and it still has a problem moving on the map when you try and select areas to turn them into zones. It just flies across the territory and selects way too much. When you try and move back to a smaller area it will just go in the opposite direction. This is the reason why I do not play it, and I was so happy to find this game.
