Does anyone else play SimCity, the computer city simulating game? If so, what versions do you play?
I play 2000 when I can use my dad's old computer, and I have 4 on my own. I also use SimCity Deluxe on the iPad because I don't want to deal with booting up the game. Laughing

And how about the new SimCity coming out in 2013?

Anyone who cares to discuss this stuff with me, join in. Very Happy

I used to play a lot of Simcity , I haven't played in several years. I started out with the original version then moved up to Simcity 2000. There's something appealing in building a city and then watching little sims inhabit the place. After a while I would cheat the game, build up loads of cash then spend it on those space towers that could hold 100,000+ sims. I heard that if you build enough of those space towers that eventually they all liftoff and leave for space. I never got see that happen. That's cool they are coming out with a new version, I'll have to check it out.

Used to be addicted to SimCity 3000. I wasted many hours playing that game and I'm afraid as my wife wants to load it onto the laptop.

2000 was my favorite, and it would keep me going for a long time. Sadly, the new computers don't support it, so I'm forced to play 4 (which is quite good!).

Ive played them all. I loved the one on Super Nintendo, because I would use a cheat code and start with nine billion dollars. Then build low rent houses next to coal plants. And luxury housing on another island.

started out with 2000 back in 98 but migrated to sim city 3000 in 2002. still play it sometimes when I get bored but it can quickly turn into a time waster.

Yup! I just reloaded that onto my lap top, best rainy day game ever.

The old Civilization is good too!

I loved RollerCoaster Tycoon also! I don't remember the name of the one I had, but I think it was RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, with an expansion pack. I don't think it works on my computer, sadly.

I loved Sim City 3000! I have only crappy comps right now nothing that can run it! But someday I'd like to pick it up again!

I got it! First person at the local Walmart to get it. I had to ask them to get it from the back. Anyone else get it yet? I LOVE it! Message me if you want to build a region together.

I play the non-Sim version. It's much more challenging when you have to work with real people, real money, real materials, and real disasters in real time.

Holy crap! $60 for the limited and $80 for the deluxe version. That's a lot of simolians. Which one did you get Beetlebaum?
I'm guessing the deluxe version you get different countries and landmarks? I'll probably get it soon but I've got so much going on with work and studying for an exam that I wouldn't have much time to spend building my ghetto. I'll be slumlord again one day soon.

I know it's insanely expensive, but I've been saving up since I first heard about the new one. I got the $60 one, because I have no need for the other city styles you'd get in the $80 one. And yes, in the deluxe version, you get city sets from Britain, France, and Germany.
I've been psyched to play the game; I keep spending so much time on it. Very Happy

The only online video game that I play is World of Warcraft. I've invested a lot of time and money in that game...(more time than money) and I really can't afford more time and money to get involved in another online game.
