    Sim City 3000 was awesome IMHO. Also, the soundtrack was epic - recorded by a real jazz band. I believe you may be able to find it on some
    streaming services still.


    I have found both the SC2000 and 3000 soundtracks when searching for them on YT. They were both awesome!

    I remember playing SimCity2000 on my PowerBook 165c, that was amazing. Today I play the BW version on my Mac Plus at work, and at home its SimCity2000 onpowerbook g3. Love my retro life. <-ARROWHEAD->

    I worked in a Mac shop in the '90s. I miss that whole powerbook
    generation. I ended up ingheriting a grotty color powerbook when our
    CFO upgraded to a duo.

    My trusty old Mac II ci (12 mb RAM, cache card, video card, extended
    keyboard and a Sony Trinitron CRT) is still one of my favorite
    computers I've used, ever.



    ... Wait, this is a *scene*?

    Yeah, I like my retro life, too. ;) Out of curiousity, what is the "BW" version?

    Something I did not know until I got into playing SimCity "Classic" is that at that time SimCity was originally meant to be a Commodore game, and there may have been a Commodore version of it. Neat-o! ;)
