I had a guide for that game for about 3 years before I had a computer and was fascinated with it. Played it for far too long when I finally got a computer.

My memory of the first Sim is hazy to say the least. I was playing it in a small local computer shop and I got given out to for clicking the mouse too loud. ..Such a traumatic childhood.

Sim city 2000 was the one which occupied most of my time. I was convinced those large habitats would blast off into space or something due to the misleading booklet!

The original is a piece of cake. Never build any roads, only rails. Build zones in a donut shape (8 zones with an empty one in the middle) and put something good in the middle. Be sure to keep industry far from residential by building commercial in between. Keep property values as high as you can with a medium to below tax rate. Expand to all corners of the map.

Think he means like a police station or the like as poeple won't build if not 3 squares away from a road or rail.

There was a similar tactic with SC2000, something to do with building on islands with just one block of road.

You're mistaken. The "large habitats" or the buildings that can have like 10000 people in them at one time, DO in fact b;last off...

....But to do that, you need to try to acheive one of these requirements. (One of them is not nessasary, but I don't remember which).

Either:

(A) Get something like 256 of the "habitats" (basically, you must fill the ENTIRE landmass/map with them) <--- I belive this is what you must do to get them set off.

or...

(B) Get some insane population, like 999,999,999. I don't think you have to do this one

Atleast, they blast off in the playstation version

Yippie Ki Yay!

they do nlast off in sim city 2000 special edition there was a city made entirely out of them and you would have to wait a little while and they would all blast off although it would make my 486 lag like hell [addsig]

SimCity 4 has been occupying much of my time these last few months. Oh man, it's so fun. Really you need the expansion to get the full effect but it's totally worth it.

Also, that city with the "blasting off" (it just used the bulldoze effect, actually) arcologies is called 349arco, I believe. I watched it once or twice, then decided it was pretty pointless. The coolest parts of SimCity 2000 were combining it with SimCopter and Streets of SimCity anyway.

SimCopter was so much fun. I really enjoyed taking the Apache and flattening entire city blocks of my own cities.

cI had steeets of sim city, what a woeful game! Some of the gar modifications were good fun though, particularly the ones that made your car jump and the one that let you hover. I used to go to the mountains and wreck the car doing huge jumps.
