SimCity 2000

But for the control freak's ultimate turn-on, there's SimCity 2000. As mayor/demigod of your own electronic burg, you not only build an intricate web of roads, schools, and hospitals, you also get to destroy them by unleashing hurricanes, tidal waves, and riots. Of course, you also have to deal with bond payments, unemployment, and annoying city council members, but 2000's 3-D graphics and not-mentioned-in-the-manual surprises are so adorable you almost don't mind.

SimCity is a game that will be challenging to you even after you played it a thousand times. That is why it’s invaluable in the gaming world. As for the graphics, as I mentioned at the beginning of the review, they are simply amazing. The screen resolution will stretch to amazing 640x480 (this is a DOS game, remember?) that will give you unseen detail. All the buildings and scenery are drawn very nicely so you will enjoy just by sitting back and watching your city come to life. The learning curve is pretty steep so if you're playing it for the first time, have patience. It will pay off in the end. I think I've made my point – 5 mark, without a doubt!

Trójwymiarowa gra w wysokiej rozdzielczości (standard VESA), przy świetnej oprawie dźwiękowej, a przede wszystkim wykorzystująca doskonale algorytmy (doświadczenia z pięciu lat projektowania i eksploatacji kolejnych wersji gry), została zaliczona na zachodzie do jednego z komputerowych arcydzieł, a myślę. ze i w Polsce potwierdzi tę ocenę.

Great new graphics and a ton of extra features add depth to a classic game. It can take an awfully long time to get to a stage where you can enjoy some of the game's new options. One of those rare games that presents a different challenge each time you play.

640x480-resoluution 256-värinen grafiikka on uskomattoman pikkutarkkaa ja todenmukaista. Taustalla soivat, rasittavat renkutukset saa luojan kiitos kytkettyä pois päältä. Äänitehosteet voivat sitä vastoin olla päällä ilomielin. Pelin monimuotoisuus ja syvyys liimaavat pelaajan koneen ääreen kuukausiksi.

Programmets målgrupp är de som redan äger och är bekanta med Sim City och andra "Sim" spel, likväl som de seriösa datoranvändarna som är intresserade av flexibel underhållningsmjukvara.

This is the most popular sim of all time, cranked up to a high-tech gloss and packaged with all the popular expansion sets. The original SimCity gave players the opportunity to create and oversee the growth of a living city as well as all its problems: crime, pollution, zoning demands, power outages, traffic foul-ups, and the occasional tornado, nuclear meltdown, or wandering monster from the sea. Less a “game” in the usual sense of the word than a sort of electronic ant farm, SimCity let players see how they fared as mayor, architect and town council.
