Sim City 3000: WORLD EDITION

PC I Maxis/Electronic Arts

The basic game is the same as it was when it first appeared on the Commodore 64: zone land, build roads, set taxes and let simulated citizens build the city of your dreams or nightmares. A huge amount of detail has been added since then, and the World edition integrates hundreds of new buildings, a building editor, a terrain editor, and a scenario editor.

You no longer have to build American cities, and you can quickly flip them into a European (German) or Asian (Korean/Japanese) style. You can add landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate and the EiffelTower.

The amount of detail in the 3D buildings, cars and pedestrians is stunning. A new website is introduced also (www.simcity.com). There you can download even more buildings and swap files, buildings, city photos and scenarios with fellow fans.

If you gave up on SC2000, this will restore your faith; and if you haven't played SimCity before, this is a good place to start.
