The sound is okay it's about what you'd expect for a game produced in 1989. You can even hang around the stadium and watch a miniature football game happen.
There are also some really fun elements thrown in, such as the monster who shows up to make a mess of your careful planning (you're encouraged to yell in Japanese at him) or the traffic helicopter which alerts you to areas where traffic is getting too heavy. Trying to figure out the right mix to make everyone happy is what makes this game so much fun, and it will give you a new appreciation for your own local mayor. What percentage of its proposed budget does it get? The businesspeople want an airport to increase commerce, but the average citizen is bored and really wants a stadium built. How much should you tax your people? The fire department wants more than you can spare. You have approval ratings and budget issues to worry about. It's like being a god able to mold your own world and take care of it as it grows. It reminds me of the feeling you get when you're flying somewhere on a plane and you pass over a city and look down at all the hustle and bustle down there. Still in D-Fend Reloaded choose the game you want to play and press 'Run'.Sim City Classic is a game that, like Doom, Pong and so many other break-through games, opened the floodgates for a host of spin-offs from not only Maxis, the company which created it, but lots of competitors as well.ĭoes it hold up well over time, though? The answer to that question is an unequivocal "Yes." While the graphics may seem a bit hokey, the real fun in the game is simply in watching your city grow and thrive.Open D-Fend Reloaded, go to File->Import->Import Folder and choose the folder where you extracted the game.

Graphics were added for buildings under construction in the residential, commercial, and industrial zones, as well as darkened buildings depicting abandoned buildings as a result of urban decay. Querying a library and selecting "Ruminate" displays an essay written by Neil Gaiman. Certain tiles also display additional information power plants, for example, display the percentage of power being consumed when queried, and querying roads displays the amount of traffic on that tile. Using the query tool on tiles reveals information such as structure name and type, altitude, and land value. The budget controls are very important in running the city effectively.Īnother new addition in SimCity 2000 is the query tool. Enacting city ordinances and connecting to neighboring cities became possible. The budget and finance controls are also much more elaborate-tax rates can be set individually for residential, commercial and industrial zones. Players can build highways to neighboring cities to increase trade and the population. Most types of power plants have a limited life span and must be rebuilt periodically. There are a total of nine varieties of power plants in SimCity 2000, including coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams (which can only be placed on waterfall tiles), solar and the futuristic fusion power and satellite microwave plant. Players can build highways, roads, bus depots, railway tracks, subways, train depots and zone land for seaports and airports. New types of facilities include prisons, schools, libraries, museums, marinas, hospitals and arcologies.
