Great game if you have lots of free time. If you don't, beware; it will suck you in.

This game introduced me at a young age to communial development planning, and money management. This game is, I guess you could say, one to grow with, it takes time and it helps one to learn along the way. I'd also like to add that it helps, especially a younger mind, to experience freedom with their money allowing them to spend it as they choose. If he/she spends it unwisely (go bankrupt) that person will know to become better managers of their money the next time.

SimCity 2000 is awesome!

I played this game at my friend's house before I bought it.This is the best game I have played in a LONG time. My favorite part is tearing up the city with disastors, and they're not always natural. You can control taxes, bulldozors, entertainment (like parks), land, and much more. Plus, this is a good learning tool which can be used by people who have never worked a computer to computer wizards.

This game is good at first. It's also very challenging. But after you have played it for a while, it tends to get really boring.

However, if you like games by Maxis, then this is a must-see. Maxis makes great games that are written very well.

GREAT CITY SIM!

Great Game! At first when I got this game for my birthday I found it hard to play. However, the 2nd time I played it I looked at the clock and it said 2pm, then so it seemed looking at the clock a hour later it was 8pm. Missing time? NO! Just a fun time playing this game.

NOTE: Don't cut down the 100% on the guy who complains about the roads, if you do the roads a building fall apart fast.

Object of the game: To find out the mystery of Sim! Earn lots of money to build up your citys.

I sure liked SIM by Electronic Arts for my birthday! "Sim City 2000" would be a sure gift for a frend of yours who is interested in games!

This is a Great Game

This is the ultimate version of Simcity. The newer version has more bells and whistles, but the game is essentially the same. Plus the new version is a memory/resource hog. In this version the urban renewal kit is the best part of the game. It's great to play together with kids (8 - 12) making it a good family game, also. If you like thought provoking, fun and educational games, this one is a winner!

Excellent game-recommended

When the first version of SimCity was released, it took the gaming world by storm. Now, with SimCity's second release, realism has exploded drastically, with more 3D buildings, Urban Renewal Kit (a program designed to let you build a city with unlimited funding and no citizens, than import it into SimCity), and improved disasters. Every gamer, casual or serious, ought to have their own copy of the latest SimCity.

Not bad considering the time it was made.

I'll write this review and we'll forget that I just sold it in a family yard sale.

First off, the sims that live in your city are not the brightest of people. Why the newspaper screams: "No Industry! City of Joblessness!", You load the place with commercial and industrial zones. Secondly, the newspapers use the same articles and just change some words, giving you headlines like: "Ferret Sqaushings!". Aw,well, I guess there really isn't a perfect game out is there?

I did like game overall though. (Sorry, this part may not be so long as the first because I don't want to start feeling sorry about selling it.) It is fun to see how much zoning, roads, power lines, education, ect., with your limited amount of money. Don't worry, if you keep your ratings up you can buy bonds when you lose that precious money.

If you get tired of starting from scratch, you can do a scenario. A scenario is where a problem has happened in a ready made town and you have to make entertainment, jobs, education, ect.. Never did well on the scenarios, in fact, I don't know if I did a blowing job on the normal play either! lol.

Like I said in the title, you'll have to make an exeption with the graphics as it is ancient.

Speeking of ancient, the reason I sold this game is because I want to save up and buy ZUES, Pharoah, CEASER 3, or something like that.
