I always loved SimCity 3000. It was the first city builder I'd ever played.

I can still hear that smooth jazz playing and the sound of screams when I sent a robot and a tornado barreling through the city.

I honestly had no idea there was a SimCity 3000. Last one I played was SimCity 2000

Don't skip over SimCity 2001-2999, you'll be totally lost...

I really want a modern old school style city builder. I tried cities skyline but it was too complicated. Like parkitect is to planet coaster.

Skylines is complicated?!?

Fair enough I guess, have you tried citiesXL? Older and dead but even more of a city painter I believe.

Compared to Sim City 3000 and Sim City 4, Cities Skylines’ UI feels really convoluted to me.

Same here, Sim City 3000 and The Sims were my jam and I still listen to their soundtracks every once in a while, they're so good. There was something truly magical about Maxis back then.
