I have some nostalgia for the original SimCity on SNES but none for SimCity 2000 because I got to it after the nostalgia-forming age of early childhood The best management sim is Rollercoaster Tycoon tho

Played the super nintendo one a lot. The crisis music is pretty haunting. Also whenever I was making buildings but forget to set up the water system, I always imagined all these office buildings and homes with no running water and everyone's dying of thirst. Mooey Cow posted:I built all my ideas for cities in SimCity 3000 and have had literally zero interest in playing another simcity-em-up since. Guess I'm just done building cities, you know? I played this a few months ago. When my city's coal factory was getting close to expiring I made a big project of creating waterfalls then making dams. I used the emulator's speed up mechanic to make time go faster since I had to wait something like a year to make a single dam based on the money coming in. I wanted to make enough dams to put out the same power as the coal plant, which takes something like 10-20 dams. By the time I got around to making the 8th I was all, "......yeah I'm done I think."

buglord posted:Why does Simcity 2000 have such disturbing music? It's so...dark? It makes me feel dead internally. I played it as a 4th grader (when SC3000 already existed) and gave it a hard pass after hearing it. I feel like I stepped into a dimly lit workplace office in the mid-late 80s, but as unborn me. eugh I forgot what an awful MIDI soundtrack this game had, but I guess thats early 90s PC gaming. Track 3 here is particularly grim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td9fFF68ml0&t=174s

I remember using ICQ to arrange games of Sim City 2000 Network Edition. I upgraded my CPU to play Cities Skylines. If you like trains, check out Railway Empire.

I like SimCity 2000 a lot and I still love how it looks. I think it aged very gracefully but drat its soundtrack is very mediocre. 3000 and 4 are way superior in that department. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV5HC6Hw0qQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I86TfGM2OIA

Hammerite posted:I have some nostalgia for the original SimCity on SNES but none for SimCity 2000 because I got to it after the nostalgia-forming age of early childhood And Rollercoaster Tycoon was written by the same man who created Transport Tycoon. He has that magic for creating interesting interactive simulation games that Sim City never brought to the table. Transport Tycoon was so popular, the community created OpenTTD, so it could fix bugs and make the game easier to build train networks. I'll also check out Railway Empire.

Mooey Cow posted:Same with The Sims. Played the gently caress outta that game, but then it was like "nah I'm done now", and they release a new The Sims 52 or whatever, and it's like "okay what's different? You can make the heads big now. Okay. Nah I'm still good" I say to the EA sales person standing with their foot in my door. Yeah same here. I got the Sims experience from 5th-7th grade. Nothing in the series has really brought me back to stay. The whole thing feels really stagnant, especially when I see the Pets expansion has been released for the 4th time. I really wanna go back but every time I try it’s a resounding “I’ve done this before, but in slightly worse graphics”.

The only redeeming thing about Spore was that you run into the SC2000 flying saucer at the end. That and penis monsters.

Cities Skylines is a super fun game but it loses its luster really fast once you realize how it scales difficulty and how to play around it. Also the progression ends pretty early on and it's just urban sprawl. Somebody should mod it to be better.

I'd actually kind of like to play Apex someday and Simcity 2013 is the reason I can't. Never the gently caress again, EA. Never. Also Skylines is very good and some of the maps and mods for it that were made by goons are extreme good zone

Little kid me played SimCity 2000 a lot. It was over a year before I figured out you could hold down the mouse to get more functions on each button, and what zoning did. I'm not sure if what I did before that could even be called playing, but drat if I wasn't persistent.

I was too young and stupid to figure out how to play simcity 2000. Mostly I just loaded the pre-made cities and destroyed them with natural disasters and fire. Any time I tried to build my own city the population would just sit at zero and I could never figure out why. These days I spend hundreds of hours playing cities:skylines, because it's fuckin awesome. My current city is so large and heavily modded that my computer struggles to run it. Think its over 30 tiles now and it has sick rear end train lines. However I have so many ports and shipping needs due to my heavy road traffic restrictions so the ships are kind of backing up but it doesn't really effect the run of the city. It still grows like a horrible tumour on the land. I have to zoom out so far to get the entire city that it's hard to even get an understanding of the scale.
