SimCity 2000

This title adds numerous features over the original such as the ability of building "light" zones, subways, hospitals, colleges, zoos, and arcos which are actually cities in cities. You can now give names to places, and your city is surrounded by neighboring towns with which you can trade goods. Finally, instead of the poll in the first game, you now have the option of reading several newspapers to get an idea of your progress.

The gameplay involves managing resources such as water, power, and waste management to keep the city clean and functional. You must also ensure that the needs of your citizens are met by providing adequate housing, transportation, and employment opportunities. As the mayor, you have to make tough decisions on how to allocate resources and balance the growth of different areas of the city.
