Gameplay
New types of facilities include prisons, schools, libraries, museums, marinas, hospitals and arcologies. Players can build highways, roads, bus depots, railway tracks, subways, train depots and zone land for seaports and airports. There are a total of nine varieties of power plants in SimCity 2000, including coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams (which can only be placed on waterfall tiles), solar and the futuristic fusion power and satellite microwave plant. Most types of power plants have a limited life span and must be rebuilt periodically.
Players can build highways to neighboring cities to increase trade and the population.
The budget and finance controls are also much more elaborate—tax rates can be set individually for residential, commercial and industrial zones. Enacting city ordinances and connecting to neighboring cities became possible. The budget controls are very important in running the city effectively.
Another new addition in SimCity 2000 is the query tool. Using the query tool on tiles reveals information such as structure name and type, altitude, and land value. Certain tiles also display additional information; power plants, for example, display the percentage of power being consumed when queried, and querying roads displays the amount of traffic on that tile. Querying a library and selecting 'Ruminate' displays an essay written by Neil Gaiman.
Graphics were added for buildings under construction in the residential, commercial, and industrial zones, as well as darkened buildings depicting abandoned buildings as a result of urban decay.
Note: This game is for DOS and to play it on computers with newer versions of Windows you will need a DOS 'emulator' like D-Fend Reloaded.

What is SimCity 3000? SimCity 3000 is the follow up to SimCity 2000 which is a classic city builder in isometric view. originally planned to be in 3D like what SimCity(2013) and Cities Skylines are but following the Maxis purchase by Electronic Arts (EA) the game was reworked to be isometric like SimCity 2000 and SC4 and Lincity/ng. You probably already know more about SC3K anyway so why bother reading this? apple_campus_installer.sit(245.03 KiB / 250.91 KB) / compressed w/ Stuffit 802 / 2015-08-09 / 59ee5935499e96ca82cd0cdf4ce6f59c5446993a / / SimCity_3000_Extras.zip(11 MiB / 11.54 MB) / Zipped 363 / 2015-08-09 / cc594f385a68cc6427c4e9c9bc48d5dab9e954dc / / SimCity3000.toast_.sit(505.83 MiB / 530.4 MB) / Toast image, compressed w/ Stuffit 214 / 2017-11-20 / 28887e25ecec2796239e0604ca5972a5f2c614ba / / SimCity_3000.toast.zip(509.76 MiB / 534.52 MB) Mac OS 9 - OSX 10.4 Tiger / Toast image, zipped 1674 / 2017-06-07 / 2017-06-07 / 990a02bc9af061d45108ebf62c7a46374a9da968 / / Architecture
From Mac OS 7.5 up to Mac OS 10.4 Compatibility notes Architecture: PPC At least 32MB of RAM (recommended 64MB) with at least 128MB of virtual memory (So you CANNOT use SheepShaver because of this) Mac OS 7.5.3 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Mac OS X 10.4 QuickTime 3.0 or later At least 360MB of free hard disk space (including virtual memory occupied space) (Notes from User: CaelThunderwing) to Run without it complaining about the CD, do not use toast, instead use the 'Virtual CD/DVD Utility' found at https://www.macintoshrepository.org/1616-virtual-dvd-rom-cd-utility on Real Hardware: a G4 Quicksilver will run but you may encounter some hickups along the way if you have more than 512MB Ram installed, as OS9 automaticly past the 960 mark disabled Virtual Memory and SC3k will complain about this! (either reduce installed Ram, Setup a Ram Disk so you can assign and change Virtual Mem or ignore the warning, (i personally went w/ ramdisk+ virtualmemory solution i did not test past loadingscreen with ignoring the virtual memory error.) Bearly tested in OSX Tiger Classic but i can imagine it'd work just not as well natively in OS9. Emulating this? It should run fine under: QEMU |
