But trying is all the fun, and there isn't really any "wrong" way to play the game with enough practice, the "perfect" city can be created. Although you are given the tools (GIF 7k) necessary to monitor all these factors, it takes a surprising amount of skill to bring it all together. You control most aspects of real city planning, such as water, road and power grid layout, crime, pollution, greenspace management, your citizens' quality of life, natural disasters, etc. In SimCity 2000, you start off with unmarred landscape and attempt to build it into a prosperous city (GIF 44k).

The files needed are a classic Macintosh ROM file (it can’t be legally obtained unless you have a classic Mac but that’s up to you) and a hard drive image containing a bootable version of Mac OS 7.0 – 8.1.

Some other features and hopefully, more to be added soon! (hopefully, an on screen keyboard gets implemented but you could always use Key Caps (Mac OS’s On-screen keyboard) for text entry / A way to map keys to the front buttons would also be great!).
