"I have an hour until I need to leave for work. What should I do?"

Also, I've been fired as the mayor of DEEPSHIT. It's probably because I keep unleashing monsters and earthquakes on the townspeople.

Shame they haven't made a good one in years. It is one of my all time favorite franchises.

I wish 4 had some kind of tool to auto generate region map topography. I haven't played it in a while but I remember trying to find such a tool and always failing to locate one.

Compare with cities skylines 2 which requires quad 4090s for low.

I can still play 2000 just fine. 4 is incredibly difficult with the dated UI.

SimCity 13 had potential, but in typical EA fashion, they forced an online element into a single player game so they could monetize it and the game (and franchise) died as a result.

1901 according to the in-game calendar year.

How far away from the nuclear power plant should the airport be?

Tropico 4 and Sim City (SNES) are the goat-tier games.

Was that the one where you can make the carnival games 100% winnable, charge $2, but give out $1 prizes and just rake in the profit all day long?

Really sad they didn't stick to the formula


It's because Maxis was a much-much better company than what EA has become.

For real, I even dug the spinoffs. Streets of Simcity was awesome and Simcopter was so cozy.

It's a shame the SNES version doesn't let you choose the background music. The scenario modes have different themes. I would've liked to have used them during my normal gameplay.

Mentioned this in another thread, but I played 10-12 hours straight once. I don't even recall bathroom breaks, but I'm sure I took some.

I glanced out the window after what seemed like a "few hours" and saw the sun coming up.

After that, I started taking a break for every hour or two of gaming, no matter how much I was into the game.
