I LOVE this game!  It was my favorite 20 years ago and when I purchased this again I found it just as absorbing as when I was a kid.  It was so worth getting.  It's much simpler than the modern day sim city games but I find that the simple stuff is sometimes the best stuff.  They don't mention the KISS method for nothing.  When I compare the old pc version of simcity to the SNES version, there is no comparison.  The SNES version ROCKS the house on this one.  Even the manual is fun to read and has little story-like lines to it with Dr. Wright leading the way (with his IQ of 1,000 apparently).  The all-time best simcity, HANDS DOWN!!!
