What a classic - just dug this out on SNES. Got a lovely place built - 25 years old, all donuts, graphs show virtually no crime, pollution under control, rails all over, balanced building mix, blah, blah but I just cannot get the population above 320,000 odd...

Did you ever get to a Megalopolis in Sim City?

Might dig me copy out of this now that you mention it! Its only fun till yah get to metropolis stage, after that the presents get fewer and its all about maintenance. Also its so heart breaking to see your prosperous areas depreciate from high rises to slums
Ive never actually got to megalopolis stage to tell you the truth, but i think in the scenarios there is a megalopolis one. A tip is to not demolish natural green spaces, trust me, the already green patches are worth loads!
Thanks for the reminder!

I've done it without any cheats, it's a little tough but if you look in the manual, there's a picture of a megalopolis on page 60 (I have the german version don't know if it's the same in the uk one).
There you can see a very good tactic for building a +500k city.
For example they didn't build any streets^^'
Btw the map they used is number 61.

Gonna put this on now. I only ever got to metropolis too.
Wow, I remember playing this on import before the UK version was out thx to the cool little import video game rental shop that used to be across the road from where I live now. That place was fab, discovered loads of class like LttP thanks to that shop. If it had never been there I probably wouldn't be into games now. It had arcades too.

I ended up having a massive session on Sim City (SNES) today 'cos of this thread!
On map #000 I've got up to 400k and it's 1975, but I really don't see me getting any higher This map has quite a lot of water tho, so I'm guessing it might not even be possible... but I don't think I can be bothered to try again on map 61!
