I have been through 3 copies of this game since it came out. All ended up scratched, cracked or stolen so that I ended up playing off of a copy I had made. After I got a new pc I was horrified to discover that I needed an updated version, IF there was one available. I was thrilled to find it on GOG! This game has gotten me through the stresses of life changing events in my life including undergrad school and unemployment. I suppose it was therapeutic to be able to bring order out of chaos in difficult times of my life. I think it also helps to hone organizational & managerial skills. And it's fun to try to be more efficient with each play and to create new designs in city building. I can't recommend it enough for anyone who is willing to try it!
