The third entry in the most famous city building series in history was one of a quality we'd came to expect from Maxis. The game is endless, and let's players create the city of their dreams with little limits. To a skilled player, cities boasting many millions of inhabitants were possible.
Personally I wasn't a played skilled enough for cities that enormous. The biggest city I had came close to half-a-million inhabitants. SimCity 3000 wasn't a really hard game though, and it was less balanced compared to it's successor which included a lot more advanced micromanagement. This game does deserve it's place in my history of gaming though, having developed my creative mind and simply because of the sheer huge amount of time I must have played it.
