There have been many city building games before it and many after it, but this stands as the best city building game ever made for me. It has it's rough spots, some just quirks of the series it's in, but it's also the most fun the genre has ever been. There are many newer titles that takle the genre such as entries in the Anno series , but this is still the only game that's so good at what it does that you don't care when it was made or how it looks, or how many times you've replayed it.
