![]() This is one of my favorites and I can guarantee that it’s a great way to burn through a couple of hours or days. Examples of these are Free Clinics, Junior Sports, and the Clean Industry Association. In Simcity 3000, some of the items listed under ordinances are really more like government services than rules. This ordinance reduces traffic and gives you money, but discourages commercial businesses. It was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in 2012 as a permanent piece of their video game collection. Another example is the Parking Fines ordinance. It won multiple awards including Best Simulation and #12 Hardest Computer Game. It did very well commercially and appeals to all gamers, not just a certain demographic. The success of the original Sim City put a lot of pressure on Sim City 2000 to perform, luckily it did not disappoint. Apart from just free building, you can also play through challenges dealing with different scenarios. In SimCity 2000, the player is an all-powerful mayor-for-life attending to the myriad details of urban growth, such as zoning for residential, commercial, and industrial development laying out roads and transportation systems allocating budgets keeping the lights on and more. The list of new features is too long to go into fully, you will just have to see for yourself. One of the most helpful additions is the query tool, which allows you to see information about anything in your city. You can now set individual taxes for the different city zones (residential, industrial, commercial) and enact ordinances. After popping the disc, go to the Control Panel and click on 'Add/Remove Programs.' In the window, click on 'Add New Programs', then on 'CD or Floppy.' It becomes pretty obvious from there. You also have your choice of ways to produce power for your city, but they have a finite existence and must be rebuilt periodically. You also have access to building underground pipes and subways as well as building roads that lead to other cities with which you can trade. Available structures include the old tried and true from the original, but add many additional options like prisons, museums, hospitals, seaports, and much more. Once you have your terrain to your liking, you can start with your city. ![]() In this new version you now have the ability to build land with different elevations before you even start with structures. ![]() It expanded upon many of the concepts that were present in the original and features new gameplay elements. It made its way onto many platforms following its initial release. ![]() SimCity 2000 is the city building game subsequent to SimCity, developed and published by Maxis Software and released in 1993. ![]()
