Major Time Sink
Of all the computer games out there, Sim City [1] is one of the few that I
can play for extended periods of time. We're talking hours here. So it was
bad news when Wlofie [2] mentioned installing Sim City 3000 [3] on one of the

There are some differences between the original version (which I'm used to)
and this version. One, more fine tuned zoning, more services to operate,
deals with other cities and more ways to obtain financing than raising taxes
or embezzling funds). The one thing that Sim City 3000 doesn't have is a way
to make bridges. The original version you could extend a road or railway
across a body of water; this version you can't. Or at least I haven't found a

Still fun.
Hours.
Gotta stop.

Okay, going to stop now.
