Quote:SC4 has all those minus hydro and microwave. Wind generators work very well, however, if you just want to build a residential/commercial city.
They generate very small amounts of energy, though... making enough for a city takes up a lot of space.
Oh, Microwave was cool... beams from space...
Quote:SC4 doesn't let you place water where ever you want you have to dig down to it, I don't know why they change that but that's the way it is. I don't really miss the waterfalls that much, though as there are tons of other things you can do to change the landscape.
That is really stupid. SC2K evidently still has the best editor...
Quote:Streets of Simcity. It's old, but you could import cities from SC2000 to it and drive around in 3D. I had all kinds of fun making really cool cities and then driving around in them.
And if you believe the reviews of the game, it's also just about one of the worst games of all time... sure, the 'it runs really, really badly' complaints don't matter anymore, but I've heard it's terrible...
Oh, there was also SimCopter, where you flew around in a chopper doing missions and stuff. I think it was better.
Quote:To me the SC games were easy, except for SC3000 which I could never do anything in.
Huh? SC3K is by far the easiest of the first three games! I immidately noticed how much easier it was than SC2K, which is a game I definitely still find hard... making a city that doesn't go broke is a very, very hard thing for me to do and I usually fail.
Oh... thought of one more thing. Disasters! In SC2K, there's the fire, flood, tornado, UFO, air crash, riot, and earthquake. (if I'm not forgetting one... oh, the Microwave sometimes started fires around it when the microwave beam misses the station and hits the ground...)
SC3K has just the fire, tornado, UFO, riot, and earthquake. No air crash (now admittedly it's just a glorified fire, but still, it mixes things up somewhat...), and no floods! Stupid!
