So when I was in Grade School, I got gifted this one year for Christmas. Incidentally, I had asked for SimCity 2000, not 3000, but this was a massive, MASSIVE graphical upgrade for me.

Anyhow, I had a copy of this game growing up, but our computer couldn't handle it at the time and would keep crashing every third or fourth time I tried to play it. I didn't play it much anyways because I had no idea how to make money in the game, and spent most of my time destroying the pre-made cities in every conceivable way possible (disasters and/or just burning through the money as quickly as possible).

Now I have a computer that can run it, and after logging several hours into Cities:Skylines, I have a better idea of how to play this game properly. I'm finally, properly playing and enjoying the game the way I was meant to be and loving every second of it.

15 years later, it was worth the wait.

By today's standards it's rather primitive, especially compared to something like Cities:Skylines, but it's deceivingly a lot more challenging than it appears to be on the surface.

It's terrific, highways a pain

I love this game. It is a classic. The mechanics are a little dated, but it brings back that nostalgic feeling. Also, I love the puns and inside jokes on the news ticker.
