- My building method for getting a Megalopolis in SimCity for the Super Nintendo. To clarify, YES I did use the million dollar cheat as this was just a quick demonstration to show my zoning pattern.

Wow... I have never got this far even with the money cheat. I miss the early 90''s so much. Thanks for the video!
I liked your city layout. Years and years ago, I was taught the "doughnut" method, where you create a 3x3 superblock, Residential or Commerical, and put the prizes in the center. It's nice to see a different building method that succeeds.
God, I love this game! Nostagia forever! *-*
The music is so awesome, and it can bring tears to my eyes.
That zoning pattern. Genius. I kept mine in rows of 2 along the outer edges, but the LR sides with 4 is perfect!
Yeah, I usually go for rows, however I tend to go for a circular distribution of zones to encourage growth.
I was so disappointed when I first hit Megalopolis and the Mansion gift didn't level up again.
Hah, your city went back to Metropolis before the video concluded :P
I'm impressed. I was usually able to get within 20000 or 30000 people before I maxed out. Of course, I never thought to use 061. Way to go, man.
Not to mention in the scenarios, the descriptions include references to Mario and Luigi, and the Tecmo Superbowl Championships for the 2010 Boston nuclear meltdown. Also, the map select screen has the Famicom logo on it.
only 19 years past and already a megalopolis, thats fucking impresive
here is a tip, roads only cause traffic next to C and R zones, so when I play I use rail for C and R and roads for I and it usually is enough to get all the road gifts, plus no traffic. Interesting you use rows instead of doughnut blocks, whilst doughnut blocks maximise land value I see the rows get more zones in. Also when you dont use budget cheat it actually reduces the maintenance costs since rail is double maintenance over roads.
Im dangerously close to getting a megalopolis. I have around 430,000 citizens now. I just started using the strategy you are using, and it is working.
Oh and heres a hint to the people who play this game, use map 061, I know it was already said, but you get 8 landfills from this map.
Wow! This brings back a lot of memories.
The SNES cheat, for you quitters, was something like spend all your money first year and then when the auto budget comes up hold down L + R (or just L) put the tax to 20% and everything else down to 0%.
Click OK, or whatever it said, with L + R still held down go back to budget and reset to original figures.
Click OK and then in game play release L + R.
If this works let me know. £45 when released!
@bombrassier
You can get either at any time, I find. With the money cheat, you can spam them. They won't always be the same.
I think tapping the button gives you the uncovered while holding gives you the covered. This is what I usually do and I don't think it has ever fail me.
Megalopolis!! Gratz!
Time to send in the meteors.
For some reason, this is a great game to play with your Dad.
That's interesting. Did it affect them positively, or negatively? Is the effect permanent?
I see you've gone for building the city in rows. I usually work around the land values problem by building a big central circle of R, with a ring of C and outlying I. Plus building loads of roads, PDs and FDs to spawn extra gifts.
NEVER got this far in Simcity except in the all land scenario. Cool to see the Mario Statue award screen and the little noise it plays when you put it up. The landscape your using I think is the only way to obtain it.
@bmwsux4 no, there's more than one kind, but you don't get to choose whether it has a dome or not, the game does.
yeah C zones are sweet for population, they can grow 5 times and then top, plus as long as the C demand stays full they will never drop and be immune to pollution affects. So the secret with them as you discovered is get them growing before I zones are put up next to them.
A Mario statue??? Now that would be badass if there was a Mario statue in my hometown mayor's office.
Pollution wont stop growth on I zones so have airport next to I zones, also if you have a C zone already maxed out, pollution wont affect it at all, same with a R zone but R zones are less stable and wont stay maxed out even with full R bar, so is better to put C next to I.
Wow, I never got to see this as a kid growing up with this game.
Megaopolis by 1919? Hax
Given the size of maps, you'll probably never have enough zones for a Megaopolis without getting the pollution warnings. Setting fire to the airport (crash a plane as it's taking off) does not destroy it - it reduces it to a single square that produces insignificant pollution and still counts as an airport.
You could try zone stacking to reduce the size of Industrial zones and fill the gaps with parks, perhaps.
Wow... I've played this game many hours, but never got that far :'(
Congratulations!
Congrats you found the only anachronism in his 1919 sim city. The nuclear reactor, domed stadium, mayor with 100 year reign, or undersea railroad made perfect sense at the time, and did not detract from the game's realism :/
I've spent more than 20 years trying to do this. Managed it ONCE, but only through extra cheating. I popped in a Game Genie code that let you build as many of the Reward buildings as you wanted. Those things really make the property values skyrocket.
Played it again last week. Reached 550.000. For the 600.000 I needed to use the gift duplication glitch ^^"
@SickMetaler Do you stack zones on the edge of the maps, then at the center? If so, then, well...megalopolis is possible in virtually every map...I realized that well before emulators came out...guess u, too, did the same. =)
I see I'm not the only one struggles to get R & C zones to develop in large cities.
That's a lot of money there, not been using the budget trick have we...?
Very impressive, lad. You can try the megalopolis rebuilding in the San Francisco; Bern; Tokyo; Detroit; Boston; Rio and Las Vegas scenarios for the 500,000 sims challenge. I saw the Steven Heartstone videos on what he did to San Francisco and Bern by using the money cheat, destroying the whole city and rebuilding zones filling the entire scenario zone map. However, he did not do Tokyo; Detroit; Boston; Rio and Las Vegas yet.
yikes... on second thought, that's a fair amount of water. I've seen maps with less. That's VERY NICE. Excellent job!!
This is 061. There is no map with less water.
Lol you are right... I confused it with 000 because of the water area, which is pretty much the same...
Anyway, congratulations for the city... And thanks for the example... I'll try to do the same...
Did you use the money cheat?
Um, yeah, I was referencing a plot twist in another game in which the player is met with disappointment to follow on from shattering your childhood dreams.
A film buff might have said 'Bruce Willis is a ghost!'
I was only able to max out around 350K or so, must have been using the wrong map. This gives me an idea on trying again!
I was never able to get the city to grow on the other side of the river for some reason
I absolutely love this game I alaws got to metropolis but I could never quite reach megalopolis this is jsut awesome
I've tried building cities w/o roads before but the people kept bitching of a lack of a road system and I caved in. I wonder if it is even possible to get to megalopolis with a road system, with the added pollution and space it would take up
WTF?! Your Metropolis Melvonia has grown big in WOW!!! :O
Thanks for sharing...finally got to 500k using a similar setup. NO DONUTS!
i play this game at the PC in DOSBOX at the moment, and my city has 320,000 people...but i don't have room left for more areas
Aw hell, I thought the 3X3 blocks and NO streets was the ticket to the top?
Wow, some of these R areas are at very low levels of development, and still high population. Well done!
@Dimensionalhopper I don't even think I was ever able to get to 400K people, even with the money cheat. I guess I zoned my stuff wrong.
@bmwsux4 its an expo not a stadium i forgot how you get them but ive had them before
WHOA a megalopolis with WATER. I'm impressed. The only way I was ever able to get to megalopolis was to either complete all the scenarios and do it in "Freedom" mode or to use a free landfill cheat to cover up the water. Nicely done...
What map # was this by the way? It looks like it has minimal water.
#61. You can see it when he is moving around. Sorry for my late answer :P
No roads eh? That's also the first time I've heard that music for Sim City
I did it in the late 90s as a 10 year old. Sadly the mayor house doesn't change it seems :/
I was disappointed by this as well, but I wonder if it's that way in case you forgot to build the house as soon as you got it.
how do you get your city like that? Every time I try to build a city, there's either too much pollution or there's not enough roads or the taxes are too high or I just don't have enough money. Does anyone have any tips?
Thank you for your advice. Will there be a sim city for the PS3?
Those pollution warnings were so annoying, and it was like impossible to avoid them!
lol, pretty sad but i remember this was the only way to expand your population was to make all the transportation, railroad or if you made everything with streets, there was always complaints about traffic and poluting the air. kinda cool to see that mario building though, i never knew that existed.
One time I had a population of about 725,000 people, but then it got accidentally erased. Boy, was I tiiiicked! Haven't played it much since.
What's even more tragic is that I've played neither... damn internets memes.
Doesn't help that my posting seems to have been separated from the posting to which it was a reply... now it's more confusing than evar.
Yeah, you pretty much have to never build any roads to get this far.
Other tips I would suggest are to rarely (preferably) never take the bank loans other than for when you need the airport. this way you can keep taxes low. Also you should only build one or as few Fire Depts as possible. This will require you to pay attention to fires, plane crashes etc and you will have to demolish everything around it to extinguish a fire, but again this enables you to keep the taxes low.
How many residential, commercial, and industrial zones do you have? Also, how do you deal with pollution?
DAMN!! My Pop-pop and i have about 50,000 but thats crazy! good job!
How did you get to that point? I was never able to reach more than 200,000 people, not even using the money cheat.
What the heck is the money cheat? I've never made my population over 400k I think. But its been about 10 years since I've pulled out the SNES.
I could never get beyond metropolis since people kept complaining about the pollution, then when you reduced the amount of industrial sites they complained because you didn't have enough of them so you could never win
I can move on happily now I literally just wanted to see the mario statue because of angry video game nerd.
What is zone stacking? I tought I knew what it was but it doesnt seem to be what I tought it was
Woot! I got a megalopolis too for the first time, after like 8 tries
I never got that mario statue when I was a kid :'(
I bet I could own at this game now though.
Why does the music change as your city raises?
can someone make a video where they build a city from scratch to megalopolis?? i can`t get more than 400.000...
the furthest i ever got to was a metropolis. i never even heard his music before xD
i just hit 180,000. Im having trouble with my buildings being developed. Is there a reason for this? Anybody have any tips?
Megalopolis (megapolis) is the highest qualification of the game...but if you grow more than 1 310 700 citizens, you roll back to village...
What is the best way to put the industry?
awesome music :D
Well, I got to say it: the tune for Megalopolis was a let down. I like every single one, above all the one for Metropolis.
I'm playing simcity atm, its 1917 and i have 356000 people living there. It has really slowed down on growth... What is the trick for making all the buildings so popular? Even if i have prices close to them, they look like crackhouses :(
I'm sure he was mentioning a hypothetical situation whereas it would not make sense if it were in real life. :)
He used the infinite money cheat (Well, technically not infinite but the cheats repeatable) were it will give you $999,999.
I never made it this far, nice job!
I never could get the Megapolis, even with the money cheat. Closest was almost 300,000. Good job man, kudos.
Loved this game played it for hours on end
Lol, why does the statue need power? And furthermore, if it's supposedly 1919, how does Mario even exist?
I still got the high score in this game. Over 1 mill ppl in my town. And I did not cheat or glitch. I got it the same year this game was in stores.
so was the international airport and nuclear plant !!!!
it's a GAME...
@SickMetaler Dude what's the difference between the money-making trick and just letting your game open for an entire day? Would you say that waiting is cheating too? In my opinion, the only difference is that cheating saves some time. Cause let me tell you, getting 1500+ per year with tax and special income is very easy anyway.
This is still a cool game
sim city is so fun. but i like to keep crime down but i always go into the red :(/
Do you still play sim city? If so have you changed your zoning patterns to get more people?
do you use a game genie with SNES games?
You do know you can achieve nearly 1 Million population if you over lap the Residentials, then replace them with Com or Industries, its the most effeiuecent way to build a Megalopolis.
Interesting... But wouldnt map 061 be better?
When did you get an Eifel Tower?
can anyone tell me hot to get at least 500000 people in simcity 4? i need it for a class project
I guess its very possible to get in 1919. What difficulty is this set?
You can get higher population than 500,000 I have gotten nearly 1 Billion by overlapping Residential, Commercial, and Industrial.
can someone explain me how play this game? i know this sounds dumb, but this game looks totaly random to me, some times the thinks go well, someothers it dont, and you just do the same thing, i cant figure out whats the meaning of this game..games like stroghold and age i play very well, but i never get my way in sim city, i need an explaation, please )=
I only ever built my cities up to Metropolis level. :(
ahh, the ubiquitous pollution warning. -_-
@SickMetaler Do you cuss them?
0:58 Time trail comfrilmed?
Map 061, obviously.
I could never do this even with the cheat.
I did manage to get the Free-land mode. (Mario Face). Haven't really played it since.
u have to erase the industrial zones and replace it
How can you have a pollution problem with no streets? I mean okay the right side looks like Detroit's industrial areas but how annoying is that pollution warning.
