    Hahah that’s great.

    Hm this is Sim City 2000, no? I wonder if I played this. I think it looks a little more like Roller Coaster Tycoon than the one I remember. Maybe I played Sim City 3000.

    Or I mixing everything up with Industriegigant. Help, I’m getting older.

    If you select it from the build menu you need 50billion cash, but selecting the disaster version just puts one down in the most populated, high value, neighborhood.

    Also looking at that map, that’s a nightmare town already. I don’t see a house that’s not a block away from some industrial plant or next to a highway.

      Well, it’s the “1974 Flint, Michigan” scenario, so yeah.

      This sub expects you to know certain things, like what Sim City is, and that data centers are a phenomenon that damage the surrounding area, and that they weren’t a concern when Sim City came out, meaning someone added it

      Like zoom it out? Or do you mean like context?

      If the latter - this is Sim City on the Mac (I think).

      You grow a city and you can also create disasters to ruin your city. One disaster that the image added was a data center.

        Ya, I was making a (poor) joke: sim city has an isometric view that shows no perspective (things getting smaller in the distance), which is a bit weird looking to me.
