Cheats!!!
Sim City
========
Bonus Gift Trick - Pick a land with plenty of water in it, but do not
pick an island. Make sure you pick a land with water near the
middle.
Now, create roads, find the middle of the land and make a cross
with these roads all the way to the edge of the map of you land. Do
not connect the cross in the middle of the water, or the trick will
not work. Once you make a cross with these roads near a body of
water, you will be able to build anywhere from two to five casinos or
amusement parks!
More Maps - Select "Start New City" on the menu screen, then choose
any map number between 1 and 999. "Ok" the map you want. Go into the
map and choose the "Go to Menu" icon at the top of the screen. Do NOT
save this. Choose "Start New City" again on the menu screen. Wait,
and the same map that you chose earlier will turn out to be a
different map with the same number! This works all the way from map
1 to 999, giving you a total for 1998 instead of the regular 999.
Sim City $999,999
How to raise your treasury to $999,999
Get into a situation where your cash is near zero and you
cannot give 100% to the Transit, Police and Fire Departments, then do
the following procedure only WHEN THE TAX SCREEN APPEARS AT THE END
OF THE FISCAL YEAR!
1. Hold the LEFT and RIGHT Buttons on the top of the controller
DO NOT RELEASE EITHER BUTTON UNTIL THE PROCEDURE IS COMPLETE
2. Select "Go with these figures"
3. Exit back to the Building Screen
4. Select the Taxes Menu
5. Increase Transit, Police and Fire to 100%, bringing your cash
flow to a negative number
6. Select "Go with these figures"
7. Return to Building Screen
8. When you release the LEFT and RIGHT buttons the cash amount
will change to 999999
Bingo! A million bucks to work with. You can almost never use
it all up. But if you do run out of money just repeat the procedure.
It works every time.
One word of advice. Do not use the procedure until you have
acquired the Bank. The Commercial Zones which surround a Bank
usually become C-Tops quickly, so having the Bank is worth the wait.
The Bank is acquired when your have a population of 10000 people and
less than $2000, if I recall properly. What I do is play normally
until I acquire the Bank, then build Police or Fire Stations until I
run out of money. Then wait for the fiscal year to end and do the
procedure.
Please note that this procedure only seems to work at the end of
the fiscal year and the tax screen must come up automatically or is
does not work.
