After taking a detailed tour across Midtown Manhattan in SimCity 4, we're taking one last look at this iconic section of New York City - but this time, in SimCity 3000 Unlimited. I'll be showcasing the city's most iconic buildings & districts, set in roughly 2005. Enjoy!

A few overviews of Midtown Manhattan, SimCity 3000 Unlimited style.

Just thinking about SC3000... I should try to get that going (again) - I still have a lot of old city files.

Wow! This brings back a lot of memories of all those hours recreating my NYC reaction in SC3000, I can almost hear the game music playing looking at the pictures

Wow! This is truly amazing to look at. Haven't sat down and made an entire city in SC3KU in quite some time. Now I really want to do so, or at least get back to working on some custom buildings!

Remarkable work here;  You earned a follow!

Hi Korver,

Excellent work. I have been attempting to recreate my own new york with SimCity 3000. 

I was wondering if you knew how I would be able to download some of the buildings from your city. If possible would you be able to post them here on the simtropolis site.

If so,it would be much appreciated.

Once again,excellent work. Your true earth series is excellent.

It is interesting to look at your NYC recreation with the nostalgic SimCity 3000, which is more cartoonish and colorful than SimCity 4.

This is amazingly well done ! There are even taxis everywhere, just like real life NYC, I wonder from where you got all those buildings?
