 Minor changes have 'mayor' effect June 15, 2000

Ever since the debut of the original simulator eons ago (I remember wasting countless hours on it on my Commodore 128) people have ritualistically purchased the next two versions. Both have been wonderful improvements. Although the basic format has been preserved from Sim City 2000, many details have been modified. The graphics in Sim City 3000 are much cleaner and detailed than its predecessor's. You also get to control trade with your neighbors, including deals for the sale and purchase of water, electricity, and garbage. That's right, garbage. In Sim City 3000 you must also manage landfills and trash-burning power plants to keep your city clean. You also have much more control over ordinances.This time around, the game is also much more glitch-free. You should have less trouble building that road you want exactly where you want it. Also, a very disgusting aspect of Sim City 2000, the arcologies, has been removed. The problem with this is, they just vanish if you use the 'import' feature in Sim City 3000 to bring in your old cities. Oh well. Deal with maintaining a real city. All in all a great game. The improvements aren't obvious at first, but play a bit and you'll see how much more enjoyable it is while still maintaining its classic touch.

Ive always loved The Original Simcity,and Simcity 2000. Simcity 3000 Unlimited is based on Simcity 2000's concept but with new (better looking) buildings,a few new disasters,and some new layers of simluation such as garbage,city trade,petitioners, and all that stuff. Great game thou!

The grafik is much better in this game than it was in Sim city 2000. In this game thers a lot more buildings. You can choose between low- medium high density zones when you place the zones for building residental, comercial or industries. this makes it to al lot of variety in the buildings pops up later. There's anew systemfor taking cae of the citys garbage. otherwise the game is very much like the games before it. But i'd say it's a funny game. Very entertaining to see the city grow and expand before your eyes.
 Nice August 14, 2001

It's about what I expected, having played every previous iteration of this software. It's addictively fun.Thank you, Loki, for porting it to Linux!
