And instead of candy you get the bonus interview with Will Wright that came with the deluxe edition

God, this box art triggered a sense memory for me.

jamesthedog.bsky.social•213 days ago

I still have that box and the floppy discs 😁

No way to play it though.

Reticulate those splines.

I spent so many hours playing this game as a kid. This brings the nostalgia hard

darkoverord.info•213 days ago

I feel so young right now

appledectomy.bsky.social•213 days ago

But where’s your hands to get candy? Oh wait who needs candy when you got SimCity 2000 on the home computer

reticulating splines!!!!!

bladevap.pokengine.org•213 days ago

Believe it or not, my favorite YouTuber (LGR) also did this! He wants to find a picture of it for proof, but in most of the retrospectives and reviews of that SimCity, he mentions dressing as the box for 2000 for Halloween when he was a child!

el-kestrel.bsky.social•213 days ago

Finally, someone mentioned LGR! That halloween costume story that he mentioned in the simcity 2000 video was the inspiration for this!

jacqposs.bsky.social•213 days ago

ngl, for a millisecond I thought this was fanart of LGR as an anthro cosplaying as his favorite box PC title.

el-kestrel.bsky.social•212 days ago

Well, it is inspired from LGR's story about his simcity 2000 costume. so, close enough!

jacqposs.bsky.social•212 days ago

Ah lol, look at me go. X3

leggy2fast.art•213 days ago

is that the CD or the floppy version??

el-kestrel.bsky.social•213 days ago

well, the guy has something floppy inside... no, wait

ehudkurzweil.bsky.social•213 days ago

you also could've dressed as Rollercoaster Tycoon 2

marxophone.bsky.social•213 days ago

This partnered with a roller-coaster-tycoon-2-cd-from-a-cereal-box costume

"Zzt!" -- will wright

blitzthedragon.bsky.social•213 days ago

My favorite part of this game is how putting down power lines makes a sound like a person going "bzzz."

el-kestrel.bsky.social•213 days ago

That's (SimCity creator) Will Wright's voice, which was originally a placeholder audio, but was amusingly included in the final release!

blitzthedragon.bsky.social•213 days ago

Hey it was memorable! Makes it the right decision in my book.

kel1989.bsky.social•212 days ago

And you proceed to appeal to the lgr viewer base lol

fazedmiro.bsky.social•213 days ago

Meanwhile the road guy comes to the door…

goodnamepanda.bsky.social•213 days ago

I love LGR on YouTube~

The UFO in the cover was a lie that we just accepted
