From the original on the SNES, to the lastest installment, which is in final development, we have seen some great new features and additions to design sim. Remember the little 3x3 zones in the original, which developed into a one design tower block, and the rewards like the Expo or Mario Statue, and that annoying little guidance man who was 3 inchs tall? Well look how far it has come from then! We have the building architect tool, complex and detailed buildings, realistic rewards and monuments and of course more entertaining diasters to destroy your land when its to much to take!
Now as the 4th edition of simcity is being finished, one can only wonder at what little added details and extra they included this time. Perhaps new power plants, geothermal or the return of the Hydroelectric from 2000! Maybe more realistic city sims and cars, as in 3000 they just appeared and then left again, and now this time they should actually go somewhere, from home to work etc. The diasters should of course be updated,i mean, why was there never lightning in the game?? The most common weather diaster in real life! That would allow some neat graphics for it, giving it a more realistic edge. Remember the trains in 3000? Just appeared out of a Doctor Who like tardis at the end of the track, why not have a proper station this time, with more realistic size of course! And finally remember the 'R Tops' and 'C Tops' in the original? Why not have that feature back again, letting two or even three buildings combine into a big shopping or residence complex, or even groups of buildings?!
Of course maxis cant fit all these things onto a singal CD...make it double so then then the next game can become the most realistic SimCity yet! If any one else has ideas, add them so maxis can get a better idea of what we want in the next edition.

You really should have just let this slide...
