How to Play SimCity 2000
Quick start
Press A on START, choose NEW CITY, pick a terrain map with Up/Down and A, then name the city and mayor. Keep the default $20,000 and 1900 settings for an easy first build. A functioning starter town needs residential, commercial, and industrial zones, a power plant connected by power lines, and roads linking the zones. Open the construction menu with L and build those essentials before expanding; setting simulation speed to Pause lets you plan without growth continuing.
Controls
In menus, use the D-pad to move and A to select; B closes help or backs out. In the construction menu, Up/Down changes tools, Left/Right changes a tool's submenu, A selects the tool, L returns to construction, and R opens terrain view. In edit mode, move the cursor with the D-pad; hold A while moving to draw zones, roads, or power lines. SELECT opens the unobstructed city/map view, and START opens the pause menu. In city view, pan with the D-pad and press SELECT or B to return.
