Because I recently fell back in love with Simcity 2000 and I can still play it on Mac OS X, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 with DOSBox. In fact you can now download hundreds of custom buildings and add-ons making the game even more incredible and realistic.I even have Simcity on my iphone.Ĭustom mods, add-ons, buildings, and maps for Simcity 4 Rush Hour / Deluxe can be found on these sites.īut I’m not writing about the newer version of Simcity today. A game I still play today more than any other. All this was followed by Simcity 3000, Simcity 4, then Simcity 4 with the Rush Hour expansion pack.
What followed were more countless hours building massive cities and trying to populate them with the Arcologies which were cities within cities. I saved up every penny from babysitting and mowing lawns so I could buy a Sega Saturn, then I bought Simcity 2000. When Simcity 2000 came out my family’s PC was too slow to run it. I engrossed myself in every aspect trying to figure out the perfect measure of industrial, residential, and commercial lots.
I would sit for hours playing, and then let the game run by itself while my budget went up. I was first introduced to it when my uncle let me use his super fast 486 PC. My family had just moved to Colorado from Omaha and we were staying with my uncle while they finished work on the house. My love for Simcity began in the early 90’s with Simcity Classic.
