If you've read through this whole review and have come to the conclusion that SimCity 3000 is a poor Mac game, you're wrong . . . and I'm sorry. It's not bad. In fact, it is still the coolest game I know. I can't get enough of it. Nothing blends creativity, strategy and deductive thinking better than SimCity. Problem is, Maxis dumped on Mac users. A once-beautiful relationship was trampled by Maxis' parent, Electronic Arts, with no loyalty or class.

Inside Mac Games (IMG)
For those that favor its acquired taste, SimCity 3000 is a refined and sweeter version of the classic SimCity 2000. This game is the ultimate “time sink”—one that you will fire up, intending to just fool around with for ten minutes or so, then glance in the clock and react in horror as you realize two hours have passed. It is a game for noodlers and nitpickers, not for anyone who prefers games that have a deathmatch option. The open-ended nature of the gameplay is both the game’s biggest bonus, and its most fatal flaw.
