I've always loved that game. I use to rent it a lot, and I once borrowed my cousin's copy for a long time. Eventually the local ma and pa video rental shop started selling older games, and that's when I got my first copy. I played the hell out of it. The battery died, and since this was before I was the Mr. Fix that I am today, I simply got rid of it and acquired a nicer copy off eBay for dirt cheap. It was a CIB copy too. Eventually I ended up with a second copy, so I had one old and one new. For whatever reason, I decided to do away with the newer copy (that uses the newer MAD-1 decoder) and then realized it was a bad choice. Really, I can easily get a newer copy with MAD-1 from eBay for like $5, I guess I've just been too lazy.

The colors are bright, the music is amazing, the sound effects are incredible (love the sound of a train starting up), and building a city is fun balls.
Come to think of it, SimCity on the snes should be prescribed to people with depression.
Yeah, Nintendo knows how to make a good game. I bust it out every now and again, but I can't play the original Sim City on the PC. It's just so boring compared to the SNES version. The music, the nice colors, Dr. Wright, etc. My favorite thing when I was younger was the gifts. Particularly the Casino and Amusement Park.

That's the Game Genie code that makes everything free. I use to use it all the time when I was younger, and that's the one Game Genie code I have memorized and will probably never forget.
These days, I don't use Game Genie any more, but I still use the in game money cheat. The one that gives you 999,999 dollars. If I wanted to be honest and not cheat, it's really easy to get a 30-50k population that's making you bank every year and just leave the game on for hours (or over night) and get several hundred thousand dollars. It's not cheating, but the money cheat is just faster. I don't find the economy side of Sim City to be any fun, so I just use the cheat and ignore money.
The one thing that sucks though is the loading bug. I talked about it
here. I'm hoping that some ROM hacker will come along one day and make a patch that fixes the problem.
