The Big (Simulated) Apple

The New York City Journal is a blog about New York... in Sim City. It's author has spent many months laboriously recreating every detail of the five boroughs, from Times Square, to MSG, to Governors Island, to Roosevelt Island, and beyond. It's amazing stuff-- page through his monthly archives for reenactments of major New York events like September 11th and the Upper East Side plane crash.

If you like this stuff, you should check out the Lego New Yorks in The Brick Apple and New York Miniland-- not to mention the New York Panorama at the Queens Museum.

wow, I need to download those buildings for my cities.

I always liked SimCity.... It just got boring after a while...

And some of the scenarios were just plain IMPOSSIBLE!!!! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.png

Hedge - clearly you did not cheat enough. Nothing was impossible when you could keep giving yourself 500k in cash every month. (Also starting out with 1 mil never hurt)

But alas that was Sim City 2000. A long time ago....

There is only one true NYC simulated city. Liberty City:
