Recreate your version of the world's greatest cities using landscapes such as San Francisco or Berlin and landmark buildings like the Empire State Building or Big Ben. To put your stamp on your city, create your own unique buildings using the SimCity Building Architect Tool. Then zoom in close to your metropolis as it comes to life with people and traffic in living color and full 3D sound. All new missions and cool disasters test your abilities to run your city or even destroy it. For more challenge, negotiate and barter with neighboring cities to strengthen your metropolis. Features (off the box) - Trade Resources with neighboring cities or swindle them mercilessly - Import Your Favorite Sim City 2000 Maps - New Close-up zoom levels put your Sims under the Microscope - Real Landmarks let you add a piece of Paris or a measure of Manhattan. Quotes (off the box) - Sim City - "The most successful software toy ever" Computer Gaming World - Sim City...

Here is the "100% FINAL STORE BOXED COPY RETAIL VERSION" of Sim City 3000. This is version SC3final1230981.rc2, while the ORIGIN and IND release are both version SC3KBeta102991.1. An interesting side note, in the FINAL .EXE, there is a portion which states "The 30 day expiration of this pre-release has expired." However, in the ORIGIN release, the .EXE has been modified & this whole sentence has been 00'd out. In the DVNISO .EXE, it says "Another fine DVNISO release." This was obviously done in an attempt to cover up the fact each group knew it was indeed not the FINAL copy. Rest assured this is not a pre-release. So upon reflection, what have we observed? We've watched ORIGIN lie to its competition and the public about the reason for their release of SC3K saying BETA in the version window. We've watched them try to in turn cover their tracks by removing text from the .EXE, that in fact is also found in the STORE FINAL game. Last but not least, we were forced to endure another unbearable ORIGIN.NFO in which they mutilate the English language through their whining over points they were unable to score in the charts. If they put half as much time into examining their releases as they put into writing their gibberish NFOs, perhaps they would in fact earn points in the charts. To OGN: You're not fooling anyone... We at CLASS chose to do a BETA TO FINAL UPDATE PATCH as well as a FULL STORE FINAL RELEASE, because we are aware that some of you have unknowingly downloaded the ORIGIN BETA while others were not given the chance because ORIGIN's OVER THE LIMIT, BETA was removed from most sites. Those who have the ORIGIN release but want to avoid the possibility of problems such as, game updates not working, multiplayer incompatibilities, and the game eventually expiring, can grab the BETA TO FINAL UPDATE and rest easy. Those who missed the game altogether, waiting for the final, can grab the FULL RELEASE and see what they've been missing. Enjoy! What was ripped? 3D sound effects (useful only to those with 3D supportive hardware) and music. Prehaps a 3D sound addon is on the way.
