The original PC version has been given a smart and jazzy 256 colour upgrade and is now available as Sim City for Windows. In the Wild West More residential areas needed becomes More homesteads needed etcetera. The only (rather pathetic) difference is the way in-game messages are phrased: In Ancient Asia and Medieval times More industrial areas needed becomes 'Master (or Sire) we need more industrial areas. They dont add anything to the gameplay whatsoever (power cables being replaced by water pipes, etc.) and even as an attempt to introduce a different atmosphere theyre rather lacking, as the graphics arent at all evocative of the time theyre supposed to represent: multi storey sheriffs offices and Ancient Asian Police Departments are typical (and theyre still all priced in dollars). It has to be said that these arent exactly must-buys. There are packs containing Ancient Cities (Ancient Asia, Medieval Times and Wild West) and Future Cities (Future Europe, Future USA and Moon Base). The other data disks come in the form of additional Sim City Graphics sets. The Terrain Editor allows you, perhaps not surprisingly, to edit terrain, creating your own bizarre chunk of land which you will later ruin by overdeveloping. On the PC its had more than a few data disks released for it to add to your Sim Citying pleasure, although none of them alter the way the game is played in any way.

The original Sim City is available on just about every format you could possibly think of, from the SNES, Mac and PC to Arkwrights Spinning Jenny. I for one think the jump to this viewpoint was a great idea and it not only makes the game look better it actually helps add more depth to the gameplay too. It also means that you now have different elevations to deal with such as the pipes that are below the city. You may wonder what is the point in this, but it not only makes the game look better than the previous game.

The original SimCity game had a top down viewpoint, but with SimCity 2000, they changed it up and we have an isometric point of view. You do have these more focused kind of scenarios to take part in too. So, while, just building your city, your way is great. These are actually based on real disasters and each one brings with it, its own kind of challenges and things for you to do. This sees you having to deal with a disaster and rebuild or take care of the city. There is a bit of a “story mode” to the game which is fun.

Making money is that actual goal of the game and you want to have a fully thriving city, full of people who are happy to be there and who are happy to be spending money, paying taxes and so on to keep the city growing and you rich.

While building a city is, of course, the point of the game. Almost everything that’s not compressed has been mapped out.So here we are in the future (well it was the future at the time the game came out) and you have one goal and that is to build a city. Hopefully I can get a generic IFF grammar going, as well as its cousin the RIFF, based on this.ĭownload the SimCity 2000 Saved City Grammar here! Perhaps putting it as a C-string starting at the second byte might be better.

The string in the CNAM chunk appears to be “dirty Pascal string”.

CNAM chunks may occur at the end of a file, but I have not seen any save that has that.

The true meat-and-potatoes of the SimCity 2000 data is in fact compressed.

Synalyze It! can’t really parse decompressed data while the data is compressed.

I’ve been told that the next release will fix this issue, but I don’t have even that build yet. This is because scripting is buggy and is a huge performance hit on the build (it’s a prerelease build that fixes a few bugs from the last official build, as explained in an earlier post). The RLE structures are mapped out, but I’ve not really implemented the script elements that will map them.

Most of the data within the SimCity 2000 save file is compressed using a form of run-length encoding.

SimCity 2000 largely follows the Interchange File Format standard, with the notable exception of the requirement that chunks be aligned on two-byte boundaries. Here’s a break from the constant madness that is ROM hacking: the SimCity 2000 Saved Game file format.
