Welcome to Marvin, a bustling little isolated town of 3,000 residents. A town where the people are happy, and the jobs bring them good pay. Enter Marvin. Here are some pictures showing the start of what could be a great city: Marvin in the evening. You can see the convention center and the casino on the top right, the Police station in the center, and our water supply just below the convention center! Moving on... In this picture, you can see the undeveloped land waiting for it's turn. Also in this one is the power plant, tucked away in the industrial area, and our Church and Cemetery. And finally... My favouite part of town. Again you can see the casino and convention center, as well as the hotel the convention center required, the Pan-Arabian Hotel, which hosts tourists and businessmen alike. Note the stone row houses on the far left, they grew on 1x1 lots to give a great 'suburban' feel! Lots used in Marvin frimi2's roundabout plugin ( Download here ) Pan-Arabian Hotel (If someone can tell me where do download this, it would be appreciated, thankyou). Please tell me what you think guys!

Inspired by Branwen I decided that for toady's update I would make a tour of the main motorway, the M28. Here goes: Junction 1 of the A28 is the first of three normal, pre motorway junctions. Junction 2, an unclassified road leading to the old industrial district. Junction 3 is the last non - motorway junction and it is the most important of the 3. This road leads straight to the old center of town. Woohoo! We have motorway! More to come tomorrow, thanks guys!

Could you make roundabout tiles, I know roundabouts are included in the NAM, but you cannot end motorways in roundabouts, like this: maybe these could be 4x4 roundabouts. Thanks - Olly

The new life forms start a chip-pan fire, which spreads to a gas cylinder the size of an ant

Incorrect! That is what i meant by using the questions though. For being the first one to get the right format, im awarding you 1 point Leaderboard: ____________ Nexis ----------- 1 point

Hello again, and welcome to the update. Here is a new part of Marvin, Winterbrook. It is built just off the M281 and is an expensive place to live, with only medium and high - wealth buildings. It also holds High - Tech industry and high - wealth commercial offices and shops. Here is a development map of Marvin, showing the whole city and the new opportunities. That's all for now folks, see you tomorrow!

Incorrect! Don't forget, use the questions to help you, as well as to gain more points.

Incorrect!! I see your point, but this is a section of road sign from the route, it could be a jucion to that road from another road HINT HINT. I should have made that clearer...

9/10 Here fishy fishy fishy...

Hi and welcome. The M28 spur road, the M281, has now been completed. Here are some pictures showing this extraordinary motorway: Here is the first tunnel section, which will soon be a new residential/ commercial area. Just before, it comes past the 4 storey stack with the M28, and the A281. The second tunnel in all its glory. Notice the dumb-bell roundabouts off to the side. There is just one more junction in this key route into the center. Also there are side lanes, which are still in their early stages. When completed, these will almost double the capacity of the busiest spur in SimNation. And ending, quite unfashionably, with a pair of dumb-bell roundabouts. This will be, in theory, the busiest part of the motorway, and will be dangerously under - capacity. luckily there is space for more dual - carrigeway through the middle of the junction, when the A281(M) is expanded, which, it is most likely it will. Well that's all from me, please keep posting comments and suggestions. Good pie! <> **EDIT** I just reviewed the last junction, and realised that it is going to become a major bottleneck...OOPS! **EDIT**

Kelbrook, Lancs, England, Europe, Earth, Solar System, Inner Asteroid Belt, Universe, e.t.c. (Do I get extra points for being specific?)

O.K. I found the diskette and have started the road process. Here is a picture of the road now: Here is a labeled picture: See youm tomorrow folks!

O.K. folks, here is a competition to get your brains running. Name the object. The rules of the game are simple enough: No posting twice in a row. If you get it wrong you are out for that round. You must name the country AS WELL as the place/object. Scoring: 10 points for Country 10 points for object/landmark 5 points for the continent If an argument should occur, I will be the judge. O.K. Round 1: Where is this?

CORRECT!! Current Leaderboard: -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- 1 your_adress_here 25 Round 2: Where is this? **NEW RULE** If you guess the type of building, you get an extra 3 points!

Is it possible to do me any custom highway interchanges. For example: A stack A trumpet A roundabout for the end of a highway. These would go down great, as my cities have limited space and the junctions would be perfectly sized. Thankyou, Olly

This is a CJ well worth keeping an eye on... I think it merits a place in my signature. BTW, where did you get the red streets?

Noooooo! You missed out BLINK 182!!!!!!!!!! Fool!!!!!

7/10. I can feel his eyes boring into my head... Aaaargh if I give you 8 will you make it stop? Please???

Hi again folks! Sim City 4 has crashed on my PC. Luckily I made back-ups of my cities but the problem is that I need to find the diskette. Here is a new road plan: The M28 is to have a new 'trunk' section, the M281, which will run underground and then into the new city center, work is due to start in 2 weeks. If you are using the M28 near the new section, here are some problems you may encounter: Sorry for any inconvenience caused during your journey. For 3 weeks at the start of the project, the inside lane of the M28 will be closed off both ways for the junction construction. For the 3 weeks there will also be a temporary 50mph speed limit through the roadworks. Free breakdown recovery is available.

Nice CJ Start keep up the good work!

Sorry no update today guys. P.C's playing up and I cannot get on to Sim City 4. If my P.C. is sorted out then maybe we will have an update tomorrow. Sorry guys!

Hello and welcome to toady's update. A lot has happened since the last time. Here we go: Here is another Marvin 'high rise'. It is called Project Feelgood, And it is yet another high - rise low wealh building. Also you can see the city hall, and two MacVicar buildings. Ah yes, Marvin's brand new airport. Lost luggage is 35 as the staff are completely incapable! And finally our tallest high - wealth building, Russo Condos. Thanks for all your comments guys, keep 'em coming Till tomorrows update, goodbye!

Yes. What you cannot see is that the high wealth residents all live in streets off to the side, away form the motorway and the industry.
