love simcity 4 w/ rush hour. i know its been released long time back but just wondering what kind of machine specs do you need to play this game? i have P4 2.66 with 512MB ram. doesnt take long before everything moves very slowly. tried a couple machines and the game runs very slow.

also its been long since any new Simcity has been released. any news of something around the corner? and for people who love this game, what other games are there as alternatives to simcity? please dont mention The Sims. dont like that one.

try upgrading to 1 GB RAM

You might be interested in Space Colony. In my view, I think that Simcity is the best simulation game available though, plus lots of add-ons are available.

Speculation on some forums suggest a year before a press release for 5. And others think 2008/2009 due to it usually being 5-6 years between releases. Another simulation game by EA is called Spore and developed by the creator of the Sim series of games. Here is an excerpt from an interview.

"Starting with single-cell organisms, players work on designing life with ever more complexity. As the game progresses, players must figure out how to take creatures from individual animals to small tribes and then to cities, whole planets, solar systems and galaxies.

Wright and his team of about 30 claim to have broken new ground with Spore.

While it's a single-player game, everything players create, from huts to spaceships, can make its way into a giant database, which will be used to populate planets in the online Spore universe.

It's what they call a massively single-player game."

very nice. checked out their webpage. evolution on your desktop. any idea of release dates??? didnt find it on the page.

yes simcity seems to be the best simulation game of all time. i enjoy looking at the city build! and of course aim for wealthy wealthy sims. skycrapers! will try to upgrade to 1gb.

will try to upgrade to 1gb.

Your video card could also be a bottleneck in that the game is graphics intensive. What video card do you have?

Just checked a review site for Spore, still a long way off.

dont understand why the annoucement has to be so fast on the upcoming game. it just makes people lose interest in the game knowing that its one year before we see it here in thailand.
