Is it still worth playing?

Land with different elevations and underground layers for water pipes, subways and road tunnels give this 1993 city builder for the Macintosh and MS-DOS a near isometric look. You zone residential and industrial areas and build infrastructure, including power plants of nine kinds: coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar and hydroelectric dams, which only fit on waterfall tiles. Highways, roads, bus depots, railways, subways and train depots can be built, land can be zoned for seaports and airports, and prisons, schools, libraries, museums, marinas, hospitals and arcologies can be added. A city that grows both up and down through layers still has plenty to build today.
