"Sim City 2000" is 20 Years Old And Free

Last Year’s SimCity was in the End, Pretty Average. Its Launch and the Outright Bullshit that EA Span Around it was a Disaster but, the Game was Simply a Quite Disappointing Entry in a Formerly Brilliant Series. And I’d Argue it was Never Anymore Brilliant than in "SimCity 2000". Which Makes it Splendid News that just Now, "SimCity 2000" is Free for Everyone of ya ! Free on Origin. Which, at this Point, you Might as Well Give Up and Accept. It and Uplay are Obviously Hideously Put Together Pieces of Infernal Annoyance but, so Long as you’re Never Loopy Enough to actually Buy Anything through their Ludicrously Over-Priced Stores, it’s Not Endless Torture to Install to Get Free Stuff. And "SimCity 2000", while Clearly Readily Available at Bargain Prices All Over for Many Years, is Not to be Sniffed at.


The Original SimCity was a Brilliant Thing but, is Extremely Clunky Now. And Obviously the Series Moved on in Leaps and Bounds but, "2000" Remains the Definitive Entry for me. It’s the One I Played until the Entire Grid was Arcologies, my Sims Living in Utter Utopia. At 20 Years Old (oh my Aching Linearity), you’ll Not be Surprised to Learn it’s a Little Weary. And Disappointingly, EA Hasn’t Given it a Technological Overhaul for the Release, instead Popping it into DOSBox and Hoping for the Best. But, it Runs Nicely here and it’s still such a Pleasure to Lay Down those Roads and Water Pipes.
