2. I thought I was always running out of money

and it slagged along on my Pent4 with 256K memory.

With SimCity3, you always had neighboring cities that you could hook up with neighbor deals to bring some early cash in, but you don't have that with SC4. I gave my copy away

4. Cheats

:evilgrin:

That helps the spending situation and partially bypasses the micromanagement crap and allows you to build the way you want, and do the u-drive missions as well. :-)

No neighboring cities though. That's a minus I hadn't read...

5. I haven't gotten around to #4 yet....

...but I really enjoy SC3000 unlimited... Now I'm beginning to wonder if I should bother...

6. Haven't seen it - what are the highlights/lowlights?

I've got SC3K Unlimited, but I don't use it much anymore because I became a DU and NationStates addict. Although Goobergunch City is still sitting around my hard disk somewhere....

8. Once a city gets going, it's fun to actually drive and fly around in it

(U-Drive missions)

But micromanagement (ala Civilization III, Master of Orion 3) will put some people off. Like me. My employer micromanages like crazy and it's driving me nuts. Why do I want to play a game forcing me to be so ridiculously controlling over every little thing that must be done?

9. How do they force micromangement?

Transportation? Utilities? Health/Education/Public Safety? Zoning?

I'm not a big fan of micromanagement either, so I'm just curious.

10. Complicated much?

It's way more complex than it needs to be. Of course, Skip loves it.

12. THE ¤&%!¤@ FIRE TRUCKS

The city hardly grew.. there were too much stuff to fix..

AND AND AND OMG AND WHENEVER THERE was a godamm FIRE which in a big city like I had there were CONSTANT fires.. you had to MANUALLY place the fire trucks, o m f g I deleted it soon after I discovered that

[goobergunch]

14. You have to manually place all fire trucks?

One of the best things about SC3K IMHO was that you didn't have to manually place fire trucks like you did in SC2K.

[Kamika]

16. yep

It was just horrible.. and there were tons and tons of fires.. and you had to place all trucks.. same amount as fire stations I believe

[terrya]

15. The fact that it's installed on my PC and I have yet to use it.

Maybe that's my problem....
