DOES IT TAKE A BRAIN SURGEON TO USE THE PACKAGE ?

The SIM CITY 2000 software package is very easy to use. The manual provides good examples of how to start the program and what options are available once it is running. The step-by-step instruction of how to initially install the software is invaluable particularly for beginners who have never installed a game from CD-ROM before. The mini-tutorial in the book helps in familiarizing the novice player to the game and the titles and sub-headings inform the reader what the topic is about. As for controlling the program itself, it is quite simple, once one has familiarized himself or herself with the different menus and icons. It is simply a matter of either pointing-and-clicking or entering a few keystrokes to get an action initiated. Playing the game, however, is another story. Although the controls are pretty basic, trying to please the inhabitants can be quite frustrating. There never seems to be and end to their needs. Aside from this fact, though, the program is user-friendly and entertaining. Thus, although it does not take a brain surgeon to use this software, it does take patience and some understanding of the concepts involved in governing a city to fully appreciate and do well in this game.
