For the first time after my old computer crash 2 years ago, I was able to fix my SimCity game again. Now I'm addicted! I play it endless hours, it's so fascinating to me. Sometimes, I even dream of it at night! That used to happen with my tickling fetish of course, and when I fell in love with a girl, but a computer game?
For those who don't know it, a brief description: You're the mayor of some self-designed city. Your task is to make the city thrive, so you build residential/commercial/industrial zones, secure supply of water and electricity, organize garbage removal, keep crime and pollution in check, provide enough schools/colleges/libraries/museums/parks, develop mass transport systems, set taxes to balance the budget, and cope with all sorts of desasters (earthquakes, space debris, fires, strikes and uprisings, even UFOs). You decide about countless petitions from your citizens who belong to all kinds of special interest groups (enviromnentalists vs industry etc). You deal with the happiness of your citizens, their land value and their life expectancy.
Apart from that, you can create your own buildings in an architect program and plant them into your game. And there are many scenarios, like sanitizing Berlin after the fall of the Wall, or reducing crime in Manhattan.
A year ago, they brought out an advanced version, SimCity4, which is more 3D and slightly connected with "the Sims" game. My computer is too old for it. Not enough RAM, not compatible with the newest graphic gards, too slow.
Have we got any other SimCity fan here in our circle? I prefer this game because it's constructive, not destructive like most games.
