It was a colossal project, and unfortunately, SimCity 3000 was delayed for years because of it, and it never really emerged as the robust and personal-level city simulation the development team had originally set out to build. This is the stuff Urban Planning thesis papers are made of. You see, in the early days of development, Maxis was looking to get down to the individual level with SimCity 3000, so you could actually roam the streets and poll your individual citizenry to see what they liked and didn't like about urban life. I even pursued a Geography Masters at the University of Georgia after that, and planned on writing my thesis on how SimCity 3000 portrayed real-life Urban Planning issues and theories. I learned about all manner of things, from journey-to-work models to NIMBY to concentric ring theory. The next day I signed up to be a future urban planner, following in the steps of such world-renowned names as Bob Smith, Bobby Smith and Robert Smith (no, not the lead singer of The Cure), all because I had an extreme fascination with a videogame and I liked to sleep in.

It just so happens that I was going through a big SimCity 2000 phase when I was locked into making this heavy life decision. I was too busy staying up late playing Civilization, Master of Magic and SimCity 2000 to bother with anything earlier. After short stints in the Computer Science, Physics, Psychology, Communications and Math departments, I was finally forced by 'The Man' to select a permanent major in my fifth year of college - also known as the sophsenjunmore year.Д«eing your average slacker, I learned early on to never schedule a class before 11am. SimCity holds a special place in my heart.
