Any possibility?
For that matter, what about some of the other old Sim games/Maxis classics?

No one knows save for GOG and EA and they are not talking.
I have plans.

If I see it on here, I'm buying it.

+1 on would buy it if it was released on GOG.

Who knows, but they'll get my money if they release 3k Unlimited. My personal fav Simcity and I'd like a version that's easier to get running on Win 7.
Having seen the incredible sick burn that was played on EA, I too would like to see salt added to the wound with SC3KU.

Call it schadenfreude.
Definitely gonna wanna make it Unlimited.
I'd pay $20 for sc3000 before paying $50 for SimCity 2013, hell, i'd pay $50 for sc3000 before i'd pay $20 for SimCity 2013 lol.

And for the record, I do own SC2013, i got it from Green Man Gaming for $23. So now I'm just waiting on SC3000, come on gog, pull your magic and get us SC3000.

SimCity 3000 nearly has 3700 votes. I'd say that's encouraging.

Ooooh, yes!

When my brother and I were young'uns my parents got us the Maxis Classics Pack - a box containing six or seven floppies with SimCity Classic, SimLife and SimAnt. Thos three games were our life for so many years! And the (really thick) manual that came with them was informational and funny, and not just about the games themselves. Pretty much everything I know about ants I learned from that manual, which was a treasure of cool, if not necessarily useful, ant facts.

We later got the second Maxis Classics Pack, which already came on CD and comprised SimCity Classic, SimEarth and SimFarm. We never really got into SimEarth, though that might have been because we didn't really understand or care about the theory behind it. Personally, I never got very far with SimFarm. As in SimCity, I tended to run out of funds in short order. (Could I do better as a budget-savvy adult? I don't know, but I'd be happy to try...)

One game I did do surprisingly well in was SimTower, which has been described as a vertical SimCity. I don't know why I managed not to go bankrupt in SimTower - maybe it was just because I was older? I built 100-story edifices and got the coveted 5-star rating while watching hundreds of tiny people navigate my elevators, escalators and stairs.

Oh, nostalgia...
Maybe One beautiful day

Getting SC3K Unlimited to run on Win 7 64x was surprisingly easy. So far (crossing fingers here) I've been playing for 4 hours straight without any issues since installing it this morning.
Running as Admin, 98/ME mode from my C:\Games folder. Also, when installing, I didn't use Autorun, but rather copied the Setup to the desktop and ran that as Admin, 98/ME.
