After having been absolutely obsessed with 'SimTower' (#35) and 'SimCity 2000', the next logical step was to move on to 'SimCity 3000'. Before release our Macintosh PowerPC was a couple years old by now and technological advancements back then went at light-speed which meant that basically nothing was ever compatible and so we needed a new computer. Windows was all the rage, so we got a PC. A Compaq Presario 4122 to be precise. A humongous beast of a PC, with Windows 95 initially on it and no less than 4 Gigabytes of hard disc space. This was huge, and people would say what are you ever going to do with that much space?! Well, put SimCity 3000 on it.
My aunt had a short stint of playing a couple city builders, and I saw what SimCity 3000 was all about. And I liked what I saw. The cities looked more realistic than ever before with super detailed buildings, cars driving on the road, a huge map and it all looked incredible on the boxy monitor with its big ears (attached speakers) that came with the computer. This started a period away from the Macintosh ecosystem for quite some time, and we got a succession of more and more powerful PC's during the next few years, and my cities could grow larger and larger with them.
