Sim City 4 is a 17 year old game

and still the best city builder we've gotten

This is now a comfy SC4 music thread

They are Americans

Also, why the fuck isn't the Win95 version of SC2K not for sale anywhere?

Because it's 25 years later.

gog.com/game/simcity_2000_special_edition Try here.

It's next to one of the largest most productive rives on the planet retards.

That's now even Clapistanis final final form

That's the DOS version you moron.

The Win95 version can run at desktop resolutions, has more zoom levels and more keyboard shortcuts.

It's the best version by far.

still the best city builder around

Maxis is dead user, don't give money to their killer, after what they did with sim city they don't deserve it

I wish they would make another 2D isometric city builder but with modern lighting mechanics. OpenRCT2 shows that this has a lot of potential.

Because it's not the year 1306 anymore.

Populous 2 is 29

I tried, but I just can't into it.
Also, what are those, 6x6 grids?

They were newfags unaware of Paradox's jewery

god damn, maxis was such a fucking gem of a studio in its time. still the EA victim that hurts the most for me

There are some things CS does better, but yes I prefer SC4 overall.

>Why?

You mean how it happens in real life all the time?

Or:
>The city is kinda fucked
>Let's build a 2nd city on top of it

That's not very viable, because for good lighting you need 3D models anyways. You need the 3D data to calculate the reach of a light. OpenRCT just puts a circular glow around the lamp which works for that game but probably wouldn't work as well with skyscrapers around. It would be possible with orthographic rendering, but not with true 2D.

The second I supply water and education half my cities turn into high wealth buildings which then become abandoned due to low demand/jobs. What am I doing wrong? I provide no other services except public transport.

Just pirate it m8

Also, if you have problems trying to run the game:

Don't forget to run it in compatibility mode yada yada

You need more high tech industry. That's the darkest yellow button but don't make them too large plot wise or they turn into gaudy warehouses. They need to be built in high wealth land areas

I am just shit at making money and increasing desirability. Managing the taxes properly seems like a do or die. I am not sure when to put in services in ether. My biggest city is barely profitable and I still get riots all the time.

I remember playing this one summer holiday, good times.

I will never not be mad about Spore
