fameland's Full Review: Simcity 2000 for PlayStation 1
The Sim-City Collection, including The Sims, is a new wave of simulation interactive games for all ages. I am writing about Sim City 2000, because it is the only one I own, but soon I will get the whole collection.
Ok. Here is the game pretty much wrapped up... First you pick which type of land you want and what year you want it to be in. It can be from the 1900's all the way to 2050. Then once you have your land, you may want to fix your city taxes so it will make everyone happy. Personally, I took all taxes to 0%. After that, and once your all ready to build, the best thing to start with is the bulldozer. I believe when you start out, they give you $10,000. Then you have to work from that and make money from your factories and work places. Anyways, you can use the bulldozer to flatten or raise land. Once your satisfied, you can start to build your city.
The first thing you need to start to build is, the roads. Building roads in the corner to form a square is best to start out with. Maybe even connecting to to other cities will increase your city population. Then once you have a basic square made out of roadways in the corner of your city, you'll want to put some houses, buildings and whatever else you think is needed. Now, to get the population rolling, you have to add a power plant with power lines crossing the roads (so everything is connected). Then, you have to add water pumps and place pipes underneath the ground, and make sure all those are connected also.
After all the hard work is done, just wait a while then people will start to crowd up the place, then your money will start to increase alot. After you have the little patch filled with people, you can then start another patch with roads, powerlines and water pipes. But, make sure everything is connected or it WILL NOT work!
I have already built 6 or 7 gigantic cities and my money has increased all the way to $75,000,000.00!
Now, if you are having trouble on getting your city started because of the lack of money, then I will reveal to you a secret code! Just type: imacheat at anytime during the game, and you will get a $500,000.00 increase! And, you can do it as much as you want!
Hopefully, this helps you when playing Sim City 2000. And, may your city turn out to be a success!
