SimCity 2000 is the Most Important Game I've Ever Played

[Jos]

The same game can be different things to different people, with gender, history, age, cultural background and political beliefs working to influence and funnel its messages and meanings for every unique player. At a time as a young kid when important things were being decided around me, SimCity 2000 gave me some sense of control over my reality.

"I’m sure this reads like the diary of an attendee at the Academy for Loathsome Dictators."

Technically yes

Technically yes

I wanted to attend that academy myself but I would've had to contend with the likes of Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin but realized I'd be insignificant and absolutely no competition to them so I was forced to look elsewhere if I was to make my mark. I'm still looking...

SimCity 2000, I've got fond memories of that game too.

Me too... Still playing it from time to time. The old DOS installation works perfectly in DOSBox. Gameplay on a Core I5-4210u is very smooth

SimCity 2000 is still, IMHO, the best in the franchise (although 3000 comes in right behind it). I must confess, I also would use the "negative interest loan" cheat to make sure I had plenty of money coming in...but I also tended to get a bit ahead of myself & would occasionally have to wait for the cash to build up.

SC2K was my favorite game also. If I blog about it maybe it too can become a featured article on TechSpot

Good games are work of art. I guess art is not important to you too?

2000 has the popularity and the nostalgia. But make no mistake, 3000 is just really really good. I'd never go back to 2000 after playing 3000.

Baloney...save it for television.

Sim City 4 was the best when it had some performance flaws ironed out. How EA managed to make Sim City 2013 far inferior 10 years later is one of the great mysteries of the universe

The ones that require a shower afterwards are the best....

The biggest art in life is yourself.

Like everything else only 10% of "art' is art
