The one I absolutely HAD to have was Link{Zelda2}, but I spent more time on Ultima: Exodus- a friend had that on Commodore64- I played the dickens out of my NES version- still have console AND cartridge today.

@suicidesn0wman: Not Console-OK, my bad.

But point remains- we spend substantial $$ on products, yet producers engage in something called "Planned Obsolescence" =products will no longer be compatible with new advances, therefore said products will no longer be supported or upgraded. What happens to the $ we keep spending when this is done? They need to realize during economic crunches a lot of people will no longer be able to keep throwing money their way. This Aura Interactor gives consumers more gaming mileage.

Can anybody make a Sim Isle City -in Free play- without it bankrupting the Island in 10 years?

List your best strategies on keeping a City(not Town) happy, Non-overpopulated.

Bullfrog and Maxis

Which one I'm Now Playing? Umm..er...Well ALL OF THEM!

"Aura Interactor" Haven't heard of it, but Heck Yeah- Get Me Some!

Trouble is- console companies probably aren't real stoked about this kind of system, and they hold the 'power' (now).

Why SHOULDN'T we buy one?- consoles keep changing, and we get forced out of playing previous products. So many great older titles get 'tossed under the bus' for the sake of profit and tech advancement. But it's MY money to spend.....(Customer money always right)

lol.. Then I'll say it better, perhaps; The universe exists, weather or not lifeforms dwell there. We lifeforms matter little to the universe- the universe "will never know about us", therefore, given the infinite oblivion which composes the universe, why do we really need to bother much with it? Our primitive ignorance always keeps us trapped on this little blue rock. -We'll never have enough lifetime to learn of all the universe, even if we manage to grow beyond our caveman mentalities.

While building a City is the ultimate build in this game, it also turns out to be the ultimate downfall of the island. The City is never happy, makes more pollution than any industry, overpopulates, and stops you from having Exports to sell. To top that off, an 'unhappy' City reduces income by thousands of dollars in a month, so an island often dies within 5 years after the City appears. Game Over.

I have never been able to play the game on Freeform without a City destroying it all. It's boring without the city, so I'd like to try again. -With a City that doesn't end the game-. So what strategies do you know to keep a freeform island with a City, running? (If any who remember playing game still exist!)

The only true satisfaction that any human gets from a Fast Food Cheeseburger, is the thought that another human has to slave over a hot grill to make them a burger. Therefore-robots will never replace certain humans as employees. Maybe because humans need to believe some other human suffers more. Then we can feel special.?

Now, wasn't that a horrible way to dismiss this Robot Takeover Conspiracy? -OR- Could the idea actually contain some truth?

Go Bernie! Let's toss these spoiled, 'celebrity brats' out of American government altogether for once!! ("You're Fired") >snicker giggle<

I've been an Independent for last 5 president elections, because IMO, seems like it has all become a gigantic tabloid entertainment proposition. Dems/Reps completely refuse to cooperate anymore, so they become useless in running a democracy. Seriously-when are they ever concerned for 'the rest of us' who elect them? Only concerned with the needs of 'their' party exclusive to any other human that lives in the United States. It's almost treason.

"There can be no progress without compromise" {Thomas Jefferson}

Quit electing 'celebrity types' just because we're choked to death on propaganda for them exclusively! We want a Presidential Representative for We The People. Let's start voting for 'regular' humans who actually know something about our American Governmental system, instead of just how to manipulate it within Hollywood.
