Of all the computer games out there, Sim City is one of the few that I can play
for extended periods of time. We're talking hours here. So it was bad news
when Wlofie
mentioned installing Sim
City 3000 on one of the machines here.
Hours.
There are some differences between the original version (which I'm used
to) and this version. One, more fine tuned zoning, more services to
operate, deals with other cities and more ways to obtain financing than
raising taxes or embezzling funds). The one thing that Sim City 3000
doesn't have is a way to make bridges. The original version you could
extend a road or railway across a body of water; this version you can't. Or

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
