SimCity 3000 (PC)

Sim City 3000 is a very fun game at first. I bought mine second-hand from a shop for a few pounds, but you can get them used off amazon.co.uk for just 45p! Well worth it for quite a bit of play! It's the most addicting game the first time you play it, but I got bored of it very soon. It's not the newest version, because Sim City 4 is out too, which is supposedly much better. The concept of the game is that you build a city and increase your population whilst controlling money at the same time. It can be hard to play at first, but once you get used to it, it becomes easy and this makes the replay value drop considerably. You start off by building ...  Read the complete review

Some of the best Sim management games around are the Sim City series, One of my favourites is this one called Sim City 3000. This game puts you in charge of a whole city with all the everyday problems that can occur, Such as fires, riots, Earthquakes and alien invasions. Yes I did say Alien Invasions. You start with a deserted space of land, Small, Medium or Large. You can set the amount of Hills, Water and Trees. And you can set it to easy, medium or hard play. The easier the play the more money you start with. You name your city and give yourself a name as you play the Mayor. You don't have to start with a blank land either as you can choose a ...  Read the complete review

Sim City 3000 for those who don't know is a game where you play the role as mayor of a city, and your task is to build and expand the city, making lots of money (Simoleons) and having the greatest population in the neighbourhood. There is no real aim to this game - there are no missions and nothing determines whether you succeed or fail - so the aim is pretty much down to you. There are so many factors affecting the outcome of your city it is incredible - you start off by deciding the terrain of your map - with 3 variables - land, trees, and water. Land: Land is fairly obviously the place where you can build all your buildings and zones. ...  Read the complete review

Simulation games are perhaps one of the most satisfying games around as they provide unique game play while still being realistic enough to allow you to experience real life situations. One of the first games I played when I purchased my first PC (an Olivetti 386sx) was Sim City. The concept of being able to build a city, watch it grow, save it from disasters and ensure that it becomes a metropolis was intriguing and I spent many sleepless nights trying to create Simonsville. The first thing I noticed about this ‘Sim’ game was that it was very addictive, and that no matter what was happening I just had to stay up five minutes more to see ...  Read the complete review
