SIM City 2000 is one of the easiest games on PC to play and it is great fun too. Build a city from scratch and watch it grow. With a loan from the bank you can start your own electronic world and you're in charge BIG-TIME. As your city gets bigger so do the needs of your blossoming population and let me tell you they aren't always to please. They want schools, hospitals, police and fire departments, libraries and museums and they are also greedy for entertainment such as stadiums, parks and zoos. To get the money in you have to make the city pay for itself, so taxes are the order of the day, and cutting costs just part of day-to-day living in a SIM world. You get totally wrapped up in your city, especially as it evolves with time and eventually looks like something out of Star-Trek. The instructions are easy to follow, and the graphics are chunky and colorful. The sound effects are pretty neat too, and you get a choice of disasters to inflict on your city if you are feeling especially nasty. A great game and at a great affordable price too.

Still a great game

SimCity 2000 has been around for awhile, but don't let that hold you back from buying it, especially at this price. Although not as graphically beautiful as SimCity 3000, it is considerably more playable and almost as detailed. In addition to the ability to design and build your own city, something that can be endlessly fascinating, there are several interesting scenarios good for an hour or two of play. Also, this game is well worth your consideration if you have an older computer. It runs beautifully on everything from a 486-66 up.

If you haven't played SimCity 2000 yet, you owe it to yourself to check out the game I firmly believe was Maxis' finest creation.

Much Better Than Sim City 3000

This game is better than Sim City 3000. The designers messed up on Sim 3000 by making it into a toy-like cartoon game. Sim 2000 is older but much better and costs less. Still the best Sim City.

"SimCity 2000" is the ultimate!

When I first got this game, I installed it, put my colors up to 256, and started playing. Since I was used to the original "SimCity", I thought the zoning feature was very weird. It took a while for me to realize that you need to put powerlines THROUGH the zone. Well, after I mastered that, I then found out there is a water system. Oh boy! That took about an hour to master that, then I went on to master the bevy of other add-on's. My suggestion is this: when you first get this game, make a city that's just for experiments. Put the year in 2050, and build everything you can. That way you get the idea of what each thing is. Anyways, for those people that want to know how good the game is: graphics are great! They probably aren't as good as "SimCity 3000", but my computer can't handle that (stupid Pentium 1). After you make a huge metropolis, though, there starts to be HUGE buildings, and you can't see through those unless you set the veiwing to a different setting. Learning curve is about like a small cliff; you start off learning and experimenting. The game is difficult at the beginning. However, after you get past the beginning, it's pretty moderate after that. Plane crashes are very annoying. If you have a tall building by your airport, the plane will ram right into it. That's when the option of "no desasters" comes in handy. Sound is really cool because you get to hear your city working! Well, this is a great game! Oh yeah, this edition also comes with a program where you can make your own tile set and city for free.

Simcity 2000 is a simulation game. You play the major of simcity, You have to construct it very well and attract a lot of people and the game never ends. It is very easy to learn and a lot of fun to play. The controls are great and very easy to use. You start the game by first taking a lone from the bank and then start constructing your city by putting roads then placing Power plants and connect them to powerlines that runs through the city for electric power, Water pumps, Water Towers and underground pipes for water supply, Residential zones, Commercial Zones, Industrial zones, Parks, Zoo and Stadium for entertainment, Schools, College, Hospitals, Police stations, Fire stations ect and then issue taxes to the people who come to your city. You can't place them anywhere you want, If you place a residential area near a powerplant no one will come, If you issue a lot of taxes then people will start to leave, The public will protest if you destroy forests, If you destroy lots of buildings A large mob lead by your mother will throw you out of town (play the game and find out what it means), You have to plan very carefully by not spending a lot of money too as there is a limit to how much you can borrow from the bank. Sc2k comes with a screnario editor for creating your own cities and it is very easy to do so. Sc2k is a 2D game but the graphics very bright and clear and the game runs very well. Simcity 2000 is one of the best computer games of all time, It is a must for all simulation / strategy fans.

A classic game!!!!!!

Just got the game yesterday and stayed up half the night playing it. Missed work today. I'm not a game person, but this is fun! I have a 3 year old computer, so I am limited on space, but this game fit perfect and runs at a good speed. I HIGHLY recommend this game for all ages. (I'm over 35.)

Awesome

This is whout a question THE city simulation. Graphics are great. Disasters are fun. Varibles in the game are not so variedy that even when you have every need met the citizens find some stupid reason to complain (stupid Ceasar game). I love this game and I would keep it on my top 10 forever (and thats a long time).
