But I don't think SimCity is really complicated, at least not for me

monorail, subway, etc.

Unfortunately for me I bought the SimCity4 Deluxe edition. I stopped
playing it because it was just too complex. Even though whenever I play it,
I try to play in as simple a mode as I can. I'm glad to hear about this
new edition.

Anybody live in Toronto and want to buy the game from me? Will sell it for
$30.

You have to do a little study of some FAQs before you'll even
understand what to do. I got frustrated at first and didn't try to
play the game for a while, then I printed out some stuff, did a little
reading for a week. When I came back to the game I was surprised at my
own expertise at the game. Now I'm thinking of writing a tutorial
myself. It's a heck of a lot of fun once you learn it. Just spend some
time to read up on it first. You can get a great FAQ at this page
