“Sim City 3000 was a huge title in 1999 on Windows, second only
to Rollercoaster Tycoon. Based on sales figures, it was no wonder
that Maxis, creators of all the Sim City titles, decided to make an
extension to the successful game. Released on Windows earlier
this month, Sim City 3000: Unlimited is scheduled to make its debut
on Linux this summer, thanks to Loki Entertainment
Software.“
“Sim City 3000: Unlimited is a city-development simulation
populated by virtual people called Sims. Taking place in a number
of eras and featuring several modes of play, it’s a game that will
reach a broad audience with its refined, user-friendly display and
numerous tutorial starter cities. Building a city from scratch,
right down to individual bus stops, is the sole responsibility of a
single person — you. Listen to your Sims, spend money wisely, and
watch your metropolis grow within the virtual world of Sim
Nation….”
“Improvements over the standard Sim City 3000 include the new
landscape, tree, and building sets. Those sets determine the
appearance of your town, and if you don’t find a building design
set to meet your needs, with the Building Architect (like the Urban
Development Kit of Sim City 2000) you can design your own
monstrosities. You can even make new buildings during gameplay and
use them straight away. Sweet!”
