People actually play this?

Simcity is really no different than Lego.

Put a few Lego sets on your coffee table, say nothing, and I bet anyone that visits will be at high risk to figit with it :)

I've had friends over that couldn't leave my son's Lego along if it was in easy reach hehe.

I love Sim City. It sounds like a boring concept, but it's one of the most popular game series ever made--especially with older gamers.

Managing a city's tax base, planning the commercial and industrial zones, and keeping the infrastructure working is a complex and challenging task as the city grows larger and larger.

It really is a fun and interactive system and I hope they make a Sim City 5.

I clearly remember the original SimCity. It was one of those games that just changed your idea of what was possible on a computer screen.

I haven't played any of them since SimCity 2000, though. Don't know why, but the modern city builders just don't have the same attraction for me that the historical city builders do.

While I only play wargames these days, I too enjoyed the early Sim City games...

Haven't played them for a while, but they are super-addictive.

The nice thing about these "toy" programs, is you don't really "lose" when you play them.
