Customer Reviews

The best SimCity series reference book I've ever read!!!!

With the information, pictures, charts, and interviews in this book, I have learned so much about SImCity 200 that I probably would have broken the SC2k population record if my computer didn't have a bug that disabled this (no, it's not the old DOS version one). This is the best book I can suggest for SimCity 2000. It can take a no-experience "Gosh, what does that button do?"-level player through the basics and into the victory sector of the city-simulating game. This book is the leader for every leader!!!"

The SimCity 2000 enthusiasts' bible!

This book is a must-get for any fan of the popular Maxis computer game/city simulator SimCity 2000. It covers just about everything but the kitchen sink...from how to play the game to strategies to help you become a better player to hidden cheat codes and other wacky stuff. Whether you are a novice or an expert at the game you'll find this book useful. You can also read about how the game was created (including interviews with the people who developed it), tips on conquering disasters and beating the scenarios, and four sample cities along with interviews with the people who created them. It even offers rather sinister tips like hacking city files to give you billions more dollars. :) The book is written in simple, everyday language that is easy to understand, and is very well illustrated (even includes an 8-page color section). Its format is very upbeat and at times even humorous. Definitely a must-have for anyone who loves SimCity 2000 and wants to become a better player.

Good book for a great game

This book touches on pretty much everything possible for SimCity 2000. There is coverage of scenarios, SCURK and of course just playing by yourself and making a city from scratch. There is detailed information to become a master at one of my favorite games, SimCity 2000. There is information that is relevent to all versions of the game.
