Post your comments for SimCity comes to iPhone here

I'm almost tempted, but the reviews say it crashes a lot.

I haven't seen it crash, but it does take a while to load. I've gotten into the habit of restarting my iPhone almost every time I download a new application to it -- there are still some lingering memory management issues.

I too have read it crashes but I haven't had a problem once. I am playing on a 1st gen iPod touch.

I used to play SimCity all the time as a kid. I found building and managing cities to be boring as heck. What I would do, however, was take a pre-existing city, bulldoze all highways leading out, as well as all emergency services, then unleash one disaster after another. If I did build anything, it would be a large number of nuclear reactors right next to each other until I got a meltdown.
Juvenile fun for 18 years ago. I don't see myself spending $10 on that now, though.

I downloaded the demo for SimCity 2000 shortly after I got my first Mac. It took hours, but then I knew that I had to get the full game. I spent counteless hours playing and designing fanciful cities. I'll probably get this for my iPod Touch.

One of my all-time favorite games (besides Myst) and glad to have a "pocket" version to distract me now! However, after downloading and playing with it for about a half hour, I'm a bit disappointed in missing features and some things just not working properly. Perhaps we'll see fixes and features added in new versions in the near future. For now, it's a great start!
Oh, and so far no crashes for me on my 3G.

Zoo Tycoon fit that mold for me. I'd build a zoo filled with carnivores, then wait for it to fill up with customers. Then I'd wall in the entrance and knock down the barriers to the carnivore cages, and watch as they ate everyone in the park. :) Hell, I still get a kick out of doing that, and I turned 39 last week.

Funny, I found the disasters the most boring part of SimCity. I actually enjoyed attempting to lay out the most "aesthetically pleasing" cities possible.

I'd be interested to hear about how the interface works. Is it troublesome to scroll around and select and build stuff?
