While I've played both SimCity 2000 and SimCity 4 (and still play SimCity 4 occasionally), SimCity 3000 is the game that first got me into the series (and simulation games in general), and I spent a lot of my childhood playing this game. And I'm always a sucker for stuff that reminds me of my childhood. I just hope the game works well (controls, stability, etc.). I'm gonna have to get this game just for the nostalgia value.

I bought it and returned it to the store after a few hours. The graphics are ugly as hell, scrolling completely undoable, it laaaaags and every 5 minutes some people come in and tell you what to do. It hated it. I never was so disappointed with a game. Sim City DS is unplayable crap. I bought it and returned it to the store after a few hours.

We don't have a Apple Store in HK and thus replacing the internal batteries will not be an option. :( Blakespot,
