Sim City 3000 Unlimited
This game is a prefect training program for mayors on how to manage finance; pseudo
city planners, aspiring architects, wannabe politicians, and citizen environmentalist. Sim
City has been around for over ten years and has developed to a substantial simulation
program. There are dedicated players who follow each version with the ease of
professional planners. For others, I seriously recommend reading the manual. This is an
activity that gives rewards depending upon the effort expended. There are many
opportunities to explore "what if".
You can start with a pre-established city and use the wide choices of buildings to modify
the scene. You can restore the World Trade Center (creepy) or deposit Alcatraz on Staten
Island. If you are willing to get involved with programming scripts, you can create your
own custom city with your own scenario. The latter choice can provide a compelling
experience when the city constructed mirrors your own with its own real problems.
Crime, blackouts, earthquakes, fires, traffic congestion, toxic emissions and terrorist
attacks are just a few of the problems for California. You could work on the effects of
global warming on costal cities. Almost any involvement in a city gives you an
understand of crime and taxes.
The program recommends a 233 MHz processor, 64 KB of RAM, 450 MB free disk
space plus additional for swap files. Take these requirements seriously and of course,
more is always better.
