I played one of the originals back in the 1990s and was quite addicited. It was always fun to save your city and then send out the monster that looked like "Godzilla" on the city. I played some of the other iterations of the game later on, but nothing was quite like the first game to me. I loved SimCity. I played one of the originals back in the 1990s and was quite addicited.

But I missed arcologies. Sim Farm was fun for a bit too. Maybe I'll try Sim City 4 as well. Should be able to get it for under $10 somewhere, right? After 2000, I played 3000 for a bit.

Of course I have the game (and the original SimCity) installed and every now and then I give it a run, still fun as it used to be. The problem with the "sequels", if I may call them that, is that they brought nothing new to the game, it was just the same thing re-done again and again. Truth be told, I didn't give SimCity 3000 a lot of run, but I guess that for some reason it just didn't grab me by the throat like the others did. I wonder what can be done with such a project nowadays, if someone finds the way to integrate into the game an online mode, Google earth, social media, etc. The possibilities are pretty much endless.

Sim City 3000 was also good, but Sim City 4 totally churned on my PC at the time, so I gave up. I'd love to see a new Sim City game, although I don't think the chances are that high.
