There is little to do once you find that happy middle ground of taxes and spending- wait for enough funds, tweak your city a bit, wait for some more funds.
The Bad:While the experience of playing SimCity is fun, the overall game is rather pointless. Build cities 'organically' like London, or build your city according to a larger over-all plan, like Washington DC. Building a city from scratch is fun, and allows a person to experience the joys of being a ruler. The gameplay is familiar, system specs need not be powerful (unlike for the newer Sim installments), and gameplay is a bit smoother than on the standard DOS version.
The review on MobyGames says it all'The Good:The original SimCity is a classic, and this is but a translation of it to the Windows environment. One of the rarest versions of Maxis' genre-defining SimCity series, Simcity Classic is a good Windows 3.1 version of the original game, ported by Azeroth.
