Pros: Hours of Fun- Never the Same Twice
Cons: Will Never Master This Game
Summary: Sim City 3000 was the first computer game I ever purchased and certainly not at all like the 'action' games I've since acquired.
This is definitely a 'thinking man's' game. (For the politically correct, that equates to a 'thinking person's' ... read more

Pros: The graphic's are so realistic!
Cons: Very confusing, there's many thing's to do!
Summary: When I first bought the game I couldn't wait to get home, and play it. Well, to my surprise I was not as thrilled as I thought I'd be. The creator of the game has added a lot of cool feature's into the game, but at the same time has made many ... read more

Pros: A very well made game that entertains you for a good long while
Cons: It is hard not to cheat in the beginning
Summary: Sim City 3000 Unlimited is by far the best Maxis has to offer in the Sim City series (to date). You are the mayor of a city that has real life problems (earthquakes, fires, nuclear meltdown, & toxic clouds for example). This game is very easy to ... read more

Pros: Graphically pleasing simulation game that can be difficult and stimulating
Cons: Becomes repetitive after a while
Summary: One of the first games I played when I purchased my first PC (an Olivetti 386sx) was Sim City. The concept of being able to build a city, watch it grow, save it from disasters and ensure that it becomes a metropolis was intriguing and I spent many ... read more

Pros: Good game, entertaining, fun, good graphics and sound.
Cons: to many things to be aware of in the city making building process.
Summary: I think that this game has tried toimprove apon a game that was already to sucessful. Making more issues and problems to be aware of is making the game harder and more challenging to play.(Also more boring). I think that Maxis should make the game more ... read more

Pros: Much more graphic than Sim City 2000
Cons: The game is slow at times, but it is worth the wait
Summary: Sim City 3000 is one of the best non sports games that I have played on the computer. The graphics compared to Sim City 2000 are very different. Different in a good way. In the new game you are able to make tons of new buildings that are more ... read more

Pros: It is very real.
Cons: Might be too real or too sterile for some.
Summary: There are fewer thrills in life than watching an empty piece of land develop into a mighty metropolis, brimming with shiny skyscrapers, museums, parks, and high tech industry. Sim City 3000 Unlimited (SC3KU) puts this far-reaching power into your hands, ... read more

Pros: Plenty of plug-ins and web support, plus online community.
Cons: can be slow on older systems, gets slower as your city grows
Summary: ----Updated 04/17/2003----
Well... This is just a great game. Period.
But since I have to fill 100 words here goes. You get to be Rudy, Machiavelli, or just your own lil megalo-maniac. Create your own city from below the ground ... read more

Pros: Excellent graphics, tons of new features, good for any skill level
Cons: Way too addictive; animations slow down the game at times
Summary: Just like a virtual Richard Scarry book, there are always lots of things going on in any SimCity game. Instead of merely scoring, killing, or stacking bricks to win, SimCity demands of its players the ability to be good planners, good listeners, and good ... read more

Pros: Like watching plants grow at a rate, but fast enough to see changes per min.
Cons: Minor 'happiness' messages appear too often
Summary: Simcity 3000 ( also known as Simcity 3k ) is a sequel to Simcity 2000 ( which was a sequel to Simcity ); it's a simulation of a city that you begin from the ground up ( unless you use a pre-made city ).

Pros: Good graphics. Level of detail is wonderful. Very challenging.
Cons: Had to buy full version of SC3000 Unlimited to upgrade from SC3000.
Summary: Having played the original Simcity, and Simcity 2000, I can honestly say that Maxis (now owned by Electronic Arts) has done some magic in creating a new sequel that continues to show how true classics are made.

Pros: High entertainment factor; Great game of power and control
Cons: Probably should have been an add-on; Surprisingly few new perks.
Summary: I have always been a big Will Wright fan. Ever since he conceived the original SimCity in the late 80's, everything he touched from there turned to gold. SimCity 2000 in the mid 90's was perhaps the biggest step forward in simulation ... read more

Summary: Ok, what do you do when your CD-ROM burns out on your computer? You go out and buy another one, right? Sure, and as you pass by the aisle display for Sim City 3000 you reminisce about the old Sim City with its crude graphics and the hours of fun spent ... read more
