SimCity™ 3000 Unlimited

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.

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!

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.

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.

I can't get Sim City 3000 to even launch on my system. It instantly minimises to the task bar, and when I try and restore it, I get a black screen and some sound for a second and then it minimises again. I can't even close the program normally and have to kill it from Task Manager. Apparently Sim City 3000 has problems with higher resolutions, but I thought the whole point of buying things on GOG was that they work on modern systems? I'd have hoped GOG would have tested the game with a monitor released in the last 20 years, but obviously not.
