I normally don't review very old games, but since it is a great addition to SimCopter, and used to be one of my favorite games, here it is. Sim City 2000 is much like the original Sim City. You are the mayor of a city and it is your job to make sure you have the right amount of power, buisinesses, residences, roads, etc. for the sims living in your city. You have to keep everyone employed and happy, otherwise your city will lose value. The graphics are old, but for when it was made, are pretty good. The sound is nothing special. It is quite fun and can keep you working for a long time. Since you can fly in the cities you make in Sim Copter, it can really give you some ambition to build a cool city, just so you can see it in 3-D. That gives it a good lasting appeal. In the SE version, you can build maps and, using the Urban Renewal Kit, can add buildings to plots of land for free. You can also draw your own buildings, but that is pretty hard to do. This is a great classic, not much by today's standards, but back then it was great. I have definetly gotten my money's worth out of it. And since I really like Sim Copter, I still use SC2K to build cities that I can fly in on Sim Copter. If you have Sim Copter, you MUST get this game. It is really inexpensive now. If you have this game, you MUST get Sim Copter. They were made for each other. If you don't like Sim Copter, get Sim City 3000.
