Such a comfy game. Maybe i'm alone in this but I like the blocky, top-down map perspective far more than the isometric style from 2000 and found it kinda sad it never got used more often both in the series and in city builders in general. Plus I also really kinda just like the simplicity of it, the map builder and all those graphics sets. I remember once making a weird ass scenario based on the Dust Bowl, and trying to recreate Springfield from The Simpsons
That said, the SNES version and mayyybe SimCity Enhanced (has some goofy ahh fmvs) are the versions to go with.
