Fun game, or waste of time?

I'm in the middle, as I like the architectural elements of it.

All I remember from my time playing Sims games was setting houses on fire and torturing characters by enclosing them in small spaces.

A game that looses it's fun factor very quickly to me. Never could get into it. You can actually sit at your computer and watch your sim sit at his/her computer... Retarded.

Yeah... same here. But even then, if you want to torture virtual characters, there are better games for it than The Sims.

I played it a lot back in the days, when only the basic Sims1 was released. I used to surround the toilet by a swimming pool, so whenever they finished going to the toilet, they had to swim to the rest of the house again, and they would need to pee very quickly again.


I know, I didn't have a life back then ;p

Both of course - like most computer games.

Seriously though, I got into it hugely a number of years ago, but it's (still) SimCity that I prefer. Sim City 4 was (is?) the nuts. And a total waste of time.

Ditto Football Manager btw.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe is still the best sim kinda game ever. It's pretty old.

Sorry for offtopic by the way, but anybody still know this? This was the shit

Theme hospital all the way

I can play the 4th build song from Sims 1 on piano.

I played the shit out of the first one, I got the third one from a friend but it didn't really hold my interest.

there were a couple of months last summer where i did nothing except play openttd. it's so preposterously addicting and challenging.

railway signals/junctions around small maps... aircrafts and bus stations to other cities... strip mining coal like it's cool. it's all coming back to me.

Best simulation game ever, hands down.

I haven't played it for a while but I've unlocked all the way up to the Urban Jungle level in loopy landscapes

For anyone who plays Rollercoaster tycoon 2, check this guy out

Nice, somebody who loves this as well. I go back to this game like once every 2 years, and it turns into a 2 month addiction every time. Soundtrack is the best ever, Sawyers Tune is the shit!
