Both of these I wasn’t so keen on for different reasons, so now my city building fix comes from Cities Skylines (2015). Electronic Arts later published SimCity Societies (2007) and SimCity (2013). I consequently played SimCity 3000 (2000), then SimCity 4 (2003) which became my overall favourite.
The concept of developing and managing your own city was of interest, which hasn’t changed to this day. Not having the money to go and buy it, my first experience in the franchise had been from a then school friend passing me his copy. Fond memories playing this game just prior to adolescence still ensued.
I hadn’t really looked for SimCity 2000, it just happen to come up browsing eBay. Let’s face it, most with an interest in retro computing would rather an original copy of DOOM, than Microsoft SNA Server. Games are a bit of an afterthought for me but I guess to some people more desirable. For the most part my software collection comprises of mostly operating systems and productivity applications.
