SimCity 2000 PSX

The ground-breaking 'city simulation' game, SimCity, has long been the standing claim to fame of game developer and publisher Maxis, Inc. SimCity 2000 first appeared for the PC in January 1994 under the Maxis label, shortly before the company was purchased by Electronic Arts. The game was later translated to the Macintosh and then after many changes and improvements to the PlayStation in 1997.

All of the popular features found on the PC version of SimCity 2000, such as the water pipe grid and improved graphics, are all here, plus extras only found on the PlayStation -- including a first-person 3D walk-through of your city once it's complete. As Mayor, you will build and manage cities of your own creation or use the pre-set scenarios to challenge your planning and management skills. You will have to clear the land, build roads, railroads, power plants and necessary infrastructure, zone the building areas, levy taxes, control crime, juggle budgets, deal with natural disasters and much more...

Unlike many games, SimCity 2000 doesn't have one specific goal or 'winning' scenario (unless in the scenario mode). The game supplies you with the tools to design build and manage your cities (as well as the people in them) -- what you choose to do with those tools is up to you. The three main options available to you are pre-set scenarios, explore and modify the default cities already provided or build your own cities from the ground up.

As you begin you can select to play the Mayor's Boot Camp practice session. Here you can test out gameplay, controls and navigation to prepare yourself for the tasks ahead. The game uses toolbars with icons for all building and management features.

SimCity 2000 for the PlayStation is compatible with the PlayStation Mouse, all controls can be customized and saved games use 8 blocks of memory on a Memory Card (the Memory Card is required to save games).

This morning, YOU approved a new solar power plant, designed an underground transportation system,
and jumped five points in the polls. Then you raised taxes (and lost 10 points), built a zoo and pushed
your education bill through the city council. It's time for lunch—unless, of course, there's a fire,
earthquake or alien invasion...
• Create and rule the city of your dreams—or your nightmares.
• Sculpt the terrain to form hills, valleys, mountains, plains, lakes, rivers, and even waterfalls.
• The Sims that live in your cities are at your mercy. Rule wisely and fairly or face the consequences.
• Build your own cities from the ground UP, or take a stab at the challenging scenarios—earthquakes,
fires, riots, tornadoes, and alien invasions will put your strategic gaming muscle to the test.
• Once you've built a city, YOU can kick back and take a first-person
3-D cruise through it—a special feature only on the PlayStation game console.
