4-day weekend for me starting tomorrow. I've been itching to play some SimCity 3000 lately. I found a widescreen mod I'm going to try..

Sadly Arcade only I think. Good news is the company making it has a some old Midway people behind it. And the return of the original announcer!

SC3K really was the pinnacle for me. God how many hours I sank into it.

Did you get it through Steam?

Never owned an Intellivion but did play on one way back in the day. Recall playing a baseball game on it.

Man I’m old. LOL

I have an Intellivision but never played it (I only have one game for it).  Yet another thing I should move on.

So Atari has acquired in television? 40 years ago that would have been some pretty groundbreaking news. Now this is pretty much the equivalent of one drunk guy trying to pick up his passed out buddy at a bar and shuffle back to their studio apartment.

Hopefully, Atari will release an Intellivison collection soon. I'd buy it if it's as well done as Atari 50th was..

I'm sure it'll see a home port in a year just like their Crusin' Blast.

Capcom has been a huge favourite of mine so it’s nice to see them doing so well these days. Have been banging out excellent games for the past several years now.

Hamster: Thanks for the heads up on SimCity 3K on gog. I picked it up for $4 and got Disco Elysium as well for a fraction of what it is going for on Steam.

I already had SC2K on Gog and played a scenario, OMG, not what I remembered. I played for much of the first SC's and my memorey had always been that SC2 was a bit clunky, especially with the water piping and contouring -- did not stop me putting hundreds of hours into it.  But now I've looked at video of SC3K I was like, oh yeah, that was my life for a few years.  Let's see how I feel when I get it installed.

EDIT: and a 500 MB install! Oh man.

Okay, so installed and played a pre-built city in SC3K. Totally playable. The mouse navigation makes it a completely differnet game from SC2K.

I cannot beleive it is so playable.

Gagan buoght me Skylines a few years ago, which I have not gotten to yet.  I want to check it out, but I'll certainly be playing SC3K for a bit more first.

Hamster, have you tried City Skylines? (Or SC4?). I never tried SC4 after it's diastrous launch.

Yeah, I have both City Skylines (Steam) and SimCity 4 Deluxe (Gog). Both are great games. I prefer SC4 to City Skylines, though. SC2K and SC3K are my favorite city builders, so I tend to play those the most when I'm in the mood. I need to spend more time with SC4; it has a more depth to its gameplay than the earlier games in the series.

I've never been able to move past The original SimCity on PC or SNES. Things get too complicated once it's no longer a complete top-down perspective.

I started with SC2k. I never played the original. It's a shame that it's not available for purchase digitally anywhere.

Thanks to Robio, I downloaded SimCity SNES and booted up on Retroarch. I played it for about an hour so far. It's quite playable with a d-pad and nice graphically (with a CRT filter applied.) Green haired Will Wright--er, Dr Wright, is great! I'll be adding this to my SNES Mini and retro portable soon. I downloaded the pdf manual, which is around 80 pages and full color. Man, do I miss large, full color manuals!

EDIT: Playing this game brought back fond memories of me playing Populous on SNES before I got my first computer. I'll have to give that a go soon too.

Christ the endgame logging missions in Snowrunner are OTT.

The number of logs they want you to truck is just too much. You have to have 3 trucks each one holding two trailers and you can only drive two at the same time. If the worst happens and you tip over and lose your logs you have to make a separate journey with a log crane truck to rescue yourself.

I loved my Sierra game boxes. So big and so impressive displayed on my desk shelf. Especially Damn the environmentalists making us shrink it all down.

It's not the environmentalists (though I know you are tongue in cheek), it's the capitalists. The promise was, "we spend over 60% of cost o nphysical media, transport and retail commission, so when we go digital games will cost less".  Assholes.
