View topic - SimCity 3000 Instructions Guide to creating a good city

I was bored, and I scanned in the guide. The guide itself wasn't created by me, I just scanned in the images.
Here is the first page (Reduced to 50%, then thumbnailed.)

These scans are huge. Page 1 in PNG is originally 1173x1598x24bit

If you want PDFs, I can make them I guess.

I played SC2000 for DOS for the first time in about 5 years today. Awesome. It even runs pretty decently in VPC.

Does anyone here play Sim City 4? The guide still works for Sim City 4.

When I was 7 the only game I played was Sim City 2000, and I kept on losing...

I have SC4 - better than 3000 I think (which I had before) - the only thing I can never seem to get right is transport, as my buildings always become abandoned because the commute time is too long! Even when I mix all three zones together (so people could in theory all live really close to where they work) most of the residential buildings still say Commute=Long!

I love SC2000 because of networking... WHy did they take that out!?

___ · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Dec 05, 2006 10:22 am

it wasn't originally there, they made a separate release called SimCity 2000 Network Edition and you had to buy each square you built on

Frozenport · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Dec 06, 2006 1:24 pm

I know that (

) I fond memories of myself playing it.
I was asking if anybody knew why the took out networking from SC3?

___ · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Dec 06, 2006 7:45 pm

lack of excitement/interest?

edit: oh and didn't EA buy out Maxis before SC3000?

Does anyone have SimCity 2000 Network Edition? I'm intrigued ... though it doesn't seem to be on any of the abandonware sites.

___ · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Dec 06, 2006 10:46 pm

i have seen it on one of the ftp servers here, i can't remember which one though. if you can't find it i can look through my cds as i have it somewhere

Frozenport · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sat Dec 09, 2006 9:22 am

Can anybody make/get a link or ISO?

Nice, thanks for the uploads. I got a huge guide with SimCity 3000 Unlimited though I've never actually read any of it. I like to figure stuff out on my own. Personally I like 3000 the best, though 2000 is certainly fun too. I bought SimCity 4 a while back and I thought it was horrible though.

I've never played the network edition though, sounds interesting.

Yes, EA got them in 1997. I don't think they had much impact on it though. SimCity 4 on the other hand...

i used to play 2000 soooooo much, then i decided to try 3000 when i got a new computer, got sick of it. i just wish 2000 supported larger maps
