SimCity 2000

Unlike its predecessor, SimCity , this installment begins with customizable terrain: rivers, hills, valleys, and coastlines can be sculpted before the first zone is laid.

The perspective has shifted to an isometric view, giving a more detailed and three-dimensional appearance to buildings, roads, and landscapes.

Core gameplay revolves around zoning land for residential, commercial, and industrial development, then providing the infrastructure and services necessary for growth.

New options include “light” and “dense” zoning, allowing more control over neighborhood density.

Cities must be supplied with power through power plants and electrical grids, and later with water via pumps, towers, and underground pipes.

Traffic management becomes more complex, as players build roads, highways, railways, and subways to connect zones and reduce congestion.

The range of civic services has expanded significantly.

Players can now construct hospitals, schools, colleges, prisons, police stations, and fire departments, each influencing city growth and public approval.

New landmarks such as stadiums, airports, and zoos attract commerce and improve land values.

Eventually, futuristic arcologies (self-contained megastructures that house tens of thousands of residents) become available, representing a dramatic step in urban development.

Finances are managed through city budgets and tax rates.

Revenue from property taxes funds services and new construction, while loans can be taken out to cover shortfalls.

Poor management leads to declining approval ratings, reduced growth, or even bankruptcy.

Citizens provide feedback through multiple in-game newspapers, each with its own tone, reporting on traffic problems, pollution, crime, and civic events, replacing the single opinion poll of the original game

Gamevaro hasn't tracked a market sale for SimCity 2000 (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) yet, so no current value is available. Prices are sourced from real marketplace sales, and this page will update automatically once sales data comes in.

SimCity 2000 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
