Inlander:
I recently had a strange urge to install SimCity 2000 on my computer. I now have a bustling little town of 17,000 and steadily brewing away. At the end of the day, sometimes it's just nice to play a game in which you get to build stuff, and nobody dies. A game in which some guy with glasses can tell you you have too many roads, or some idiot can tell you to float a bond and then the instant you do so tell you that the unpaid bond is killing your town.

Anyone else here love SimCity? I'm a sucker for the classic 2000 model, but has anyone played any of the other versions? How do they compare? And what are your finest city-building exploits?

The best city I ever came up with (on my old computer, now lost to the ages) had a sizeable population (somewhere around three-quarters of a mil, I think - I was saving up for arcologies to give it a boost) and among other things what was, frankly, an awesome public transport system: a full rail network, highways, and - best of all - an extensive subway network covering the entire city, with somewhere in the order of 100 stations. All that and the city still turned a profit every year.

I do enjoy the SimCity and other Sim games.  It's a nice breather from the constant killing in shoot-em-up games and the destruction strategy games and stuff.  I had the same game, but for PS One.  I mostly enjoyed loading up the pre-built cities, and laying waste to them because I usually got stuck andwouldn't be able to make my city any bigger.

McTaggart:
Sim city 2000 was a horrible horrible game until I figured out what was going on. Then it was this great stress relief. Every now and then I get the urge to play it again.

imapiratearg:
I liked SimPark.  The one where you make your own campground and stuff.  It was cool.

Mikagon:
I liked SimTower a lot better then SimCity. In SimCity I was always too tempted to just keep releasing all the disasters on the city.
