Some people did not care about this aspect of the game, but I liked it. You also have advisors who are kind of like friends that will help you out. One is that you now have a new ticker which will keep you informed of how things are going ranging from stuff like crime, people's opinions, and even a UFO attack. There are a couple of other new things that I want to give a special mention to. Overall, if you have played a previous game in the series, you will feel right at home here. Getting to the end of the year and not being broke is always something that causes me to be very pleased with myself. You will never keep all of your citizens truly happy, but you can try your best. There are tons of new buildings and little things to keep you on your toes. You also have agricultural stuff going on as well which believe it or not was new to this.
Waste management is now an issue, the larger your city the more likely you are going to have problems with people and their garbage so you need to manage that! Instead, I want to talk about some of the new features they added to the game that I feel make the game feel fuller. I feel that by this point most people know what the deal with this franchise is so I will not bore you with the core details about what SimCity 3000 is all about. It may not sound like a lot, but it works wonders to make the city you are working for, feel like a real place. I feel this one has many more “finer details” you can see cars more clearly driving on the road and pedestrians walking around for example. While it may share that SimCity style that the first few games had. I think that there was a noticeable graphical leap from the last game to this one.
SIMCITY 3000 NOCD SERIES
However, SimCity 3000 and the other games in the series pull it off to perfection and this one does it with some tongue in cheek and a ton of personality. What is weird is that on paper I know this sounds like the most boring premise for a video game every. The goal is to build a fully functioning city and not be broke at the end of the year when the taxman comes calling. jar file for Windows.One thing that is constant with all the SimCity games is the goal. I'm so happy to see this work, just wish someone would do Sim City Classic Windows, but I think that'll be a hard sell with Micropolis, even if it has to run from a sucky. I just happen to have a disc of it still after all these years.
SIMCITY 3000 NOCD PC
I'd love to see this added since I bought the DOS release in a pinch awhile back.Īs I said has this, part of their project that got permission to distro old PC games. HLP support files.Ĭlearly this works in Windows 64bit, will you GoG people be adding this if you can get the authors permission as the Win release is vastly superior to the lower res DOS version. Saving and loading files, all functions other than the dropped out of date.
SIMCITY 3000 NOCD INSTALL
I have the CD Collection which isn't the SE GoG(and ) has so I had to tweak it a bit grabbing a DLL and moving the subdirectories off my CD into the install directory where the new EXE was created but it does work 100%. It's beta so a little crude, but if you use the installer it will make a modern 64bit simcity.exe file on your computer and the game just works like it did 20 years ago.
I own the SC2K CD Collection and kept it all these years, but I could not use it with Win7 or now Win8 64bit because of the 16bit installer being blocked.
