SimCity 3000 was also the first game in the series to truly emphasize the connection between cities. While you built on a single tile, the game simulated neighbor connections. You could buy or sell water, power, and garbage disposal services to neighboring simulated cities. This made the game world feel larger and allowed for specialized cities—one could be a dirty industrial power hub, selling electricity to a neighboring clean, residential suburb.
Jerry Martin’s soundtrack for SimCity 3000 is legendary. It moves away from the quirky beeps of the earlier games into a smooth, sophisticated blend of jazz, ambient, and world music. Tracks like "Concrete Jungle" or "City of Dreams" are so relaxing that they are often listened to on their own as study music. The audio cues—the buzzing of power lines, the siren of a fire truck, the cheering of a stadium crowd—are distinct and informative. SimCity 3000
