I've still got a copy of Sim City 3000 sitting in it's case on a shelf which I bought years ago and have never installed. Not sure why really but there you go.
I think I played either Sim City 1 or 2 for a while way back and IIRC found it a little, uh, non-inspiring. Maybe I should load up the 3000 version and see what I think, gotta say the graphics for V5 look good.
