Learn about SimCity 3000, released by Maxis with innovative features and great graphics. A masterpiece in city-building simulation.

Maxis released SimCity 3000 a few years after their previous success, SimCity 2000. The game was designed with innovative features and a great set of graphics to match, ultimately proving to be a success. SimCity 3000 is considered a masterpiece by many, alongside other games in the series.

The game can be challenging to learn initially, and despite the inclusion of a long manual, there are many details new mayors should know before starting their first city. This guide aims to provide that information, though players may still need to consult the PDF manual for further clarification.

A notable drawback of SimCity 3000 is its lack of a full tutorial.
