Best PC Game #3: Sim City 2000

Sim City 2000 is a game that I spent countless hours playing. It was such a good game that I became quite addicted to it. You have the ability to build a city from scratch and be in control of every aspect of the city from building roads and buildings to setting the taxes and even sending aliens and hurricanes to destroy your city you worked so hard to build. There are few who would disagree that this is one of the best PC games of all time.

You get to deal with crime and fire and other problems that a regular city has to deal with. To combat these you build fire stations, police stations and schools. To make the citizens happy you can also build parks and other types of entertainment places. You’ll need to plan well though because you might not have enough roads and they will become too congested. To help you with all the daily issues that you will have running the city you will get several advisers to help you out with the different areas of influence that you possess.

Sim City 2000 adds a bunch of new playability options that the original Sim City didn’t have, and yet the game doesn’t become bogged down and difficult to play. You’re able to trade with your neighboring cities, change the terrain there are loads of new building types.

One of the reasons that games get ranked as the best PC games ever is because they are replayable. Many games can only be played through once and then when you “beat” the game it ceases to be as fun and generally you don’t play it as much or at all. Sim City 2000 is definitely a replayable game and will have you playing for a very long time. It is easy to understand but extremely difficult to master, or even get good at. There are a lot of thing to think about as you go about creating your city. After you do get past the learner’s curve however, you’ll find yourself creating a giant city, or cities, and you’ll greatly enjoy seeing what started off a small town develop into a sprawling metropolis.

It’s hard to pick out the best games from the thousands of games out there, but I feel no hesitation and nominating this game as one of the best games ever.
