Originally it was going to be in full 3D, but the technical limitations of then-current hardware led Maxis to revert to 2D graphics. SimCity 3000 (1999) was mostly a graphical and feature update.This game was also a starting point for several other Sim spinoffs, at least in as far as two of them - SimCopter and Streets of SimCity - loaded SC2000 maps and rendered them in full-3D, making 2000 an ersatz Level Editor for them. It is widely remembered as a port overdosed title, even though not a single console from Super NES to Nintendo 64 was capable of running that game without collapsing. Interestingly UK PC Gamer magazine still ranks this as the best SimCity despite its age.
