We might have the game available for more than one platform. SimCity Classic is currently available on these platforms:. SimCity Classic. SimCity Manual English. SimCity Mac Manual English. SimCity Red Sheet. It was one of the most innovative titles of its time, allowing the gamer to plan, build, and maintain a city from scratch. The Windows port went largely unappreciated, and after failing to sell well in stores, SimCity Classic was pulled from the shelves shortly after the release of the sequel SimCity in This is very unfortunate, as it was the best version of one of the most original and imaginative series of all time.
You start out with nothing but a bit of money, and a piece of land, and it's your job to create and maintain a city. As City Planner, you choose what goes where: residential, industrial, and commercial zoning as well as transit and power. You need to maintain equilibrium to keep your city flowing smoothly; each type of zone relies on the other, and you must create the perfect balance. The first step is usually to create a power plant: nothing runs without power. Then you must lay out zones. However, zones won't develop unless they have adequate transit available, such as roads and railways; and of course, they need connection to your power source.
Eventually, as your city grows larger, you will need police and fire protection and more of everything: more power plants, more zones, more transit; continually building outward from where you began.
However, there is much, much more to worry about. You also act as Mayor, raising and lowering taxes, as well as providing adequate funding. It is a true simulation: you wouldn't be able to simply stop maintaining a city in real life. As long as you stay interested, and you likely will, you can keep upgrading and changing your city. In the case that you do want to try something different, there are some excellent built in scenarios you can try.
From the famous bombings in Hamburg, to the not-so-famous monster attack in 50's Japan, it is now your job to save real-life cities from Armageddon. They won't keep your interest for that long, and you probably won't want to play each one twice, but they are a welcome change. The controls are far superior to the original DOS version and the sounds are good, and the music is absolutely excellent - a nice jazzy soundtrack which never gets old.
As a kid, I spent hours playing this wonderful game as well as the sequel SimCity also available at Abandonia. It never gets old, and should keep you interested for quite a while. There is no way I could rate this game below 5, and I'm sure many of you would agree.
