That video is quite possibly the most frightening thing I've seen in a long time. It's genuinely awesome and scary.
Holy shit! 3 years? and I though I wasted time on that game... Played it for most of 1999, right after I got a PIII
that's three years of his life he'll NEVER get back (what an extremely impractical subway by the way!)
Which perhaps he has done, and the 3 years of planning could have been in his free time. But anyway it shows what intellect that is behind some people and games. Cause when you plan something like that for 3 years, then you are really working with it. Cause it is not just something you pull out of your arse, when you think of doing a game in such a sincere way. Cause degrees does not do shit, if you do not have an income to support it. And in this present day, you are fucking lucky if you get a job, when you graduate. But then again some people are lucky, others aren't.
Damn, that's just insane! I used to play SC3000 a lot during 2000-2001 and only once I could reach one million residents in a city. For that moment I found too hard to keep raising the population and the game speed started to become unplayable in my old 150MHz Pentium, so I got bored of it quickly.
