  1. 🎮✨ "SimCity 3000 in 4K": A nostalgic journey for those who think high-res graphics and jazzy soundtracks can distract from the fact that you're still playing a game from the previous millennium. 🚀💾 Let's all pretend that fitting 90s pixels onto a #4K screen is somehow revolutionary, because who needs progress when you can have retro resolutions? 😏📀

  3. Olin sanomaisillani ”aamu alkaa…”, mutta kellohan lähentelee jo yhtätoista. Kohta on jo ilta.

    Enihuu, aamu alkoi alustamalla pöytäkoneeseen saatu kakkos-NVMe-levy ja kopioimalla sinne USB-levyllä tallessa olleet #Windows-#virtuaalikone'et (XP ja 10). #WinXP on jo muinainen asennus mutta toiminut vuosikaudet #SimCity3000-alustanani. #Win10 ei ehkä herää henkiinkään; sen ostin joskus rahoissa ollessani, joten tyystin putoa #Wintendo'n kelkasta. #atkjuttuja #miehenelämää

  5. From its original CD-ROM, SimCity 3000 just didn't work for me on Windows 95. After some research, I could finally locate the official patches to v1.1 in English and German from 1999. Problem solved!

  6. SimCity 3000, released in 1999 by Maxis and Electronic Arts, revolutionized city-building simulations with features like waste management, neighbor city interactions, and dynamic land value systems. The SimCity 3000 Unlimited expansion added new building sets, disasters, and customization tools. Composer Jerry Martin’s jazz and new-age soundtrack gave the game a distinctive audio appeal.

  7. I got the Loki Linux port of #SimCity3000 set up on my Win98/Slackware 7.1 rig. Performance wasn't very good due to issues with the video card (XFree86 doesn't really like my ViRGE/GX2 AGP so I'm running it in fbdev/VESA mode) but it ran and was fully playable!

    I tried it on the LFS 6.1.1 setup I just finished building on my WinXP machine but it wouldn't run due to a too-new glibc. I'm using 2.3 and it wants 2.1.

  9. Work computer switched to Win11.

    Design switch reminds me a bit of moving from #SimCity2000 to #SimCity3000: Where do all these bubble-gum plastic-looking buttons come from? 🫣

    And yes, not quite 72hrs in and I have already successfully created a blue screen of death...

  10. Heute auf den Ohren: Der #SimCity3000 Soundtrack - früher ... als noch Soundtracks mit echten Musikern für Spiele gemacht wurden:

  14. Splurged a bit on the #SteamSpringSale last night. I got £40 in Steam gift cards for my birthday and I am not afraid to use them.

    Games I grabbed:

    #DeathsDoor
    #SimCity3000
    #GnorpApologue
    #MosaLina

    And I've still got £29 left to use. That will likely go on #RogueLegacy2 and #Wargrove2

  17. I often hear that #philcollins had no reason to go so hard on the #tarzan soundtrack, but have these people ever heard the #soundtracks to #SimCity3000 and #simcity4 ?

    Those are some soundtracks that go hard.

  18. I posted about SimCity 3000 running on Android, thanks to Winlator, but having terrible sound.
    The issue was due to the Winecfg using Wine's DirectSound.
    Changing it to Native fixed the issue.
    SimCity 3000 on the go, here I come! 😁

  20. The weirdest paradigm shift happened last night. I was gaming and ended up buying SimCity 3000 from gog.com for 9.99 USD. It installed and played well, but wasn't as enjoyable as 0 A.D. That has to be the best free game available on Linux and Windows. The add-ons or mods really extend the fun in this masterpiece.
