Klumpen0815: The addons for Cities in Motion have real cities in them, I can only talk about Berlin there and although some streets are approximately in the right place, most has been left out. It's only a mutilated version of the central part of town which was quite a disappointment.
Likewise, Simcity 2000 did its best to replicate certain real-world cities, along with several real-world disaster scenarios for you to survive. Unfortunately the real disaster in those setups is the fact that real-world cities don't function in the exact same way as SimCity 2000 cities, so they tend to decay on their own...

HunchBluntley:
it was just called "GTA: LONDON" here - and, aside from being utterly shit, was entirely inaccurate in regards to the city as well.


Edit: and for the PS1 is was a standalone edition.

I have no idea why so many seem to (recently think) "they" is plural - rather than accusative / directive as in your use.

Mind you... people don't speak english anymore... they seem to speak americanglish more often than not! O______o

True, true.

As a Swede, we learn British English in school and the rest we learn from TV, games and the internet ;)

We can take whoever's slang we like here. Know why?
Because we're free.
Also, that reminds me of a quote I once saw which I forget the source of:
"English doesn't 'borrow' from other languages. English chases other languages down a dark alley, beats them up, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar."

not really true though. its more a case of english getting bummed into submission by other languages (ie french), then forgetting where it lives (ie scandanavia) before rolling over and asking for a second helping. its a bit like a cat with a dose of "mr. tumnus" syndrome really.

Bah! Just pick a gender by which to a refer to a person, and stick with it. Even after that person and many people who know the person have told you repeatedly that the person's actual gender is the opposite of what you call them, just keep on using the pronoun you picked. Even if the person gets in your face and says, "Look, I'm not a woman, I don't look or dress like a woman, I'm not 'male-who-identifies-as-female'. STOP REFERRING TO ME AS 'SHE'!" -- just stick with whatever gender you arbitrarily called them in the first place. It will make you seem decisive!

Well, that's basically what it's saying. English is a bizarre mishmash of other languages, including Latin, German, and French, molded into some weird byproduct where the sentence "Will Will Smith smith? Will Smith will smith" makes sense.
As hard as it is, it's worth mentioning that it can be eventually figured out through thorough thought, though.

To any non-native English speakers who stumble upon this post, I'm sorry.

zeogold: German,
doesnt include much german actually - common misonception. its scandic based (so has a greater connection to slavic historically) - though of course theres the misconception scndanavian languages are somehow "germanic", rather than the other way around.

(note, I'm a former archaologist and had to learn all about this).

but yeah - its a bastard! - many times over in fact! ;D

...so does this mean we aren't continuing our U.S. vs. U.K. insult-slinging fight? I kinda looking forward to that.

Well, I do have an unusually hairy forehead which I shave down into a neat little strip...but we digress (and derail).
