Before the popularity of "The Sims" franchise, there was "SimCity." "SimCity 2000" was essentially the same as its predecessors, the player assumed the roles of all the officials who would typically inhabit a city hall in his pursuit to create a successful town.

The game starts with open land, which the player can customize with hills, mountains, and waterways. Then the fun starts as roads can be laid, and buildings can be built.

The player controls all aspects of the city, establishing a tax base, and building the necessary infrastructure, to include police and fire stations, hospitals, schools, and electric power stations.

The player must also create businesses, so the residents of the city will have jobs.

After the city is thriving, various disasters will occur, including fires, tornadoes, and riots. After the disaster has passed, the player must rebuild the damaged areas of the city.

"SimCity 2000" was a fun game, and was very easy to become immersed in. Later releases offered more options and had better graphics, but "SimCity 2000" was a good purchase when it was first released in 1995.
