There was a phone version of SC2k years ago that was really bad and EA eventually deleted it off the store. It's a promising future when a company can delete a game they released off of every paying customer's devices without even making up a reason.

there's a video from this summer about elevator security/hacking and one of the guys who is a professional elevator consultant says 'yeah we honestly just use SimTower to figure out how to properly optimize elevator settings in offices'

It's 2 hours long but incredibly entertaining

Also side effects may include permanent elevator sperging.

i actually got a nuclear meltdown once

but the mac has a weird problem where if you don't manually allocate enough memory (lol) and sim city runs out of memory, the newspapers are "on strike". so that happened and i still have no idea what the newspaper looks like when you have a nuclear meltdown

i remember the first time i got to 60,000 people in simcity 2000 and got the military base reward. i was so excited to get a cool air base and have the fighter jets. but then apparently i didn't have enough free land so they gave me a missile silo instead. i was 7 or 8 years old and i literally cried

it's not how much space you have iirc, it's the general topography

very mountainous = missile silos, coast = navy base, etc

no really there's an iOS port of toot tower for 5 bucks that plays identically to the PC version

there's a transport tycoon port too that Chris Sawyer consulted on but its control scheme was too wacky for me

make sure you build the military base in sc2000 before you fire up sim copter, so you can get that sweet rear end apache that shoots missiles that can knock down buildings.


then shoot your nuke plant for fun (I might be misremembering that bit)

for some reason nothing ever got built on my military bases, just a runway :iiam:
