never ceases to amaze me that, to get a megalopolis, you have to do the exact opposite of what the game says and cluster the sh!t out of your industrial zones
samuricexful I didn’t know there were cheats or ways to exploit the game until recently so technically I was playing this like a real city. Lots of fire departments, roads AND railroads, doing city blocks of eight residential areas with parks or bonus buildings in the center and listening to the computer people complaining about everything I did lol. Would still get to 500k+ residents and get the Mario bonus statue... but I admit to playing on easy ;)
Every time I attempt this, beit zone stacking, donut zoning, anything my city amasses a population of 250k and stagnates there forever. What the hell!?
@@reillywalker195Actually, I think this video showed me the exact opposite. I had that problem playing this as a kid, too: donut zones, every single pixel covered by a building. My population would shoot up to 250k, but no bigger. This video made me realize that you have to have undeveloped zones for population to move INTO. If everything is Top, there's no more room for growth.
I played this game when I was a kid in the early 90s. During lockdown I found it on a DOS emulator and built my first ever megalopolis. I thought it could only be done on custom maps with no water but how wrong I was. I also realised that citizens will always be upset that pollution is too high.
They will always have some sort of gripe, the secret is finding out which gripe is the most expensive to care about while deterring you the least; ergo it's usually Pollution on min-max maps all the way up to just before the recent additions.
My college friend and 3-4 other people in his res hall at ETSU kept the SNES on around the clock and had a megalopolis going over the course of a semester. IIRC the city got so big it noticeably slowed down the user interface.
I remember either on the snes gamebox back or on the manual, they had a "Megalopolis" with the entire city structure. I coped it building for building and it barely made it to 100,000 people. I was so mad lol. I never figured out how to make one until watching this video.
What happened to the city towards the end of the video? (55:27 to end) The city was stagnant at 250k people but doubled to 500k without any user interaction. The demand for "R" and "C" zones were high, yet the city was designed to have more "I" zones instead. I thought you were supposed to have one "C" and "I" zone for every two "R" zones?
THIS comment! Is exactly what I was thinking. My city populations also stagnate like this, but in this video it explodes without interaction. What am I doing wrong?
Impressive man. It took me almost 20years but in 2009 I finally did it. I did it a tad differently. I opted to run a railroad track at the very top of the screen and then ran down everything i needed from there in sets of two. By not running the railroad left to right (other than the very top of the screen) I saved myself enough space to build what was needed. Put the industries on the sides of the map, commercial next to them, and residents in the middle.
28:45 I used to play this game to death when I was a kid. I saw plenty of shipwrecks, but I’ve never seen one actually set a building on fire like that.
My Megalopolis should be 25% Industrial, 25% Commercial and 50% Residential is an equivalent balance. Think this way, lad as my suggestion. I take this suggestion because it is supposed to be this way.
No Fire Departments to go with the Police Departments... Seriously?! And the railways are lead to nowhere! Whatever works for you doesn't work for the rest of us.
You can't use rails or power lines on the water because it will cause the ship wreck. Also you must bulldoze everything near the fire even the zones. Plus building a fire dept. does not help put it out.
I just confirmed it does. If you dont believe me start a new game and build a sea port and when the ship appears put many rails and powerlines around it then turbo speed and watch what happends. You are a fucking moron. Dont comment on something you know nothing about.
I just threw Sim City in the NES and cranked out a megalopolis by 1948, and maxed out my population at 727k. I didn’t even know there was a money cheat. Kinda defeats the purpose of playing the game though.
Wow. I felt cheated because i was looking forward to see that creator of this video would put out Mario Statue in city. Wasted 1 hour... If i knew it sooner i would skip video to the end if i knew no Mario Statue.
God damn it to all hell. So the infamous underbelly of the research Community known as xan this retired Doxed threatened friends with all the big shot yt researchers this thing you see before you here.. God damn it I'm 37 this year and I was a kid once. And I was obsessed with this game. You know I called Nintendo's Redmond Washington free long-distance phone number after begging my dad for years and you know what question I ask them? I asked him what was the music for the megalopolis on SimCity because I have been playing for several years and I cannot get it to flip the megalopolis I was 5, 000 citizens away and I could never never never fucking never get it to go to megalopolis 5, 000 citizens away I have done every map. I have played exhaustive hours as a kid I loved the game. And you son of a gun you did it here. Congratulations bro or little sis. Whoever you are I take my hat off to you. And I could have been that kid in the game master movie I was a mother fucker. Prayers to any man who wants to face my Vega. You hear what I'm saying? I never got that megalopolis brother congratulations
"Mayor, Where should we build the new Expo building?"
"Just put it right up next to the four month long stadium fire."
This game makes me think of my dad who passed away 10 years ago. He played it a lot when we were kids. Love you dad ❤️
That makes me feel old.
💔
Dang another bot comment
this music. so much nostalgia... back when the world was smaller. take me back to happier times!!!
I want to hug you. I instantly fell asleep to this music, and dreamt of my days as a 12 year old.

After 20 Earth years I just got my first Megalopolis!
Thanks to you, stranger. Thank you so much!!!
Hhahaha it took me 24 years! Never give up!
Same. I wanted that mario statue since 1991ish
33:10 I love how there's a fire that's been raging for months, and he's just like, "This seems like a good place for a stadium."
Hm, yes, shutup citizens. You can kick your stupid ball up and down in hell and here it is.
Sim city is just so charming, plenty of snes games have aged quite well imo and this one is right up there with the best of them.
Is there anyone who actually tries to build a city instead of optimizing/exploiting game mechanics to build a weirdass city?

Came to the comments because what the heck is this?!!
My dad, a boomer, plays this game all the time without cheats and loves to pretend his city is real. You can see it in the layout.
I did
@@VivaLePunk1307 unless your dad was born between 1945-1965, he's not a Boomer.
Back in the day I could play this game weeks on end and not get bored!!!
still bot bored today, everytime I play this game, it will always bring me back to my childhood, ohhh how I could go back and have back that moment.
So true, this and Sega's general chaos!
Same. 😄
크흠🤔💭 should "bored" & SNES SimCity by MAXIS, be in the same paragraph?
Amen brother! This is one of my top 5 all time games 100%
Every time I attempt this, beit zone stacking, donut zoning, anything my city amasses a population of 250k and stagnates there forever. What the hell!?
The trick is to maximize population density. You want as many R-Top zones as possible.

the map sizes are bigger than on sim city 2013
I said the same thing. It's kinda hilarious.
Let's forget about SC2013 though. I don't like thinking about what EA did to things.
@@KnownAsKenji erm simcity 2013 is way bigger ,u could have 16 cities and 4 works per region
Tried playing this again after many years. Got fired in the fifth year. I thought it was going okay.

The best HBCU ever (no Knoxvillian bias)
PTSD every time the plane went over a nuclear power plant. I had one crash there once and ruin an entire playthrough.
Why?
@@Flat_Earth_Sophia Terrible luck
GAMER: Uses CHEATS to build city
EVERYONE ELSE: SHOCKED Pikachu faces....OMG, Look what he built.
I remember either on the snes gamebox back or on the manual, they had a "Megalopolis" with the entire city structure. I coped it building for building and it barely made it to 100,000 people. I was so mad lol. I never figured out how to make one until watching this video.
Sim City and Sim Earth. Good times. I subscribed. I never got a megalopolis, but I was playing the game when I was probably around 11-12 years old..
And the present when reaching the 500,000? And which population was the final one, that was reached with this town?

andywolan He cheated the game lol.
THIS comment! Is exactly what I was thinking. My city populations also stagnate like this, but in this video it explodes without interaction. What am I doing wrong?
It's pretty clear he was using Game Genie codes
I remember having this as a kid and being so lost on what to do.
same!
HK IV Mnbc. b
HOW???
Where’s the heart??
The megalopolis mayor's house is a huge mansion.

**Pauses** 3:35 In and fascinated by this block placement (Never even got close to a Megalopolis as a kid, from memory got to 300,000ish) **Unpauses**
Would have never stacked that many industrial zones.... all those complaints about pollution were a load of crap it seems
Has pal SNES logo on that game Idk why
It is possible to get a Metropolis without using the money hack code?
I was under the impression that the best pattern was *_Circular Donuts:_* With 8 zones in a circle & the center for a special building ? I guess not ?
You were lied to by the game's instruction manual
I could never get to 200,000 people, and my brother could barely get to 200,000 people. I wish this guy would have showed us his final city though.
Some brilliant memories of my youth came flooding back!
Wonder if it's possible to get 1,000,000 population, max out the number?
Can't get to 500,000 without cheating.
Mine usually take 50 years : / Though I don't use the money cheat. I wonder what the shortest time it without the cheat.
28:45
I used to play this game to death when I was a kid. I saw plenty of shipwrecks, but I’ve never seen one actually set a building on fire like that.
This game i loved playing , i would get over a 100k citizens even on the practice map
So basically, youre building a concentration camp....
I wish
HE DIDN’T EVEN BUILD THE MARIO STATUE. THAT’S WHY YOU GET A MEGALOPOLIS!!!!
this game was limited to the things you can do compare to the pc version but i still enjoyed it and this one had better music
Thanks. I wanted that mario statue since 1991. I finally won this while on quarantine this week. I took a sceen shot.
My Megalopolis should be 25% Industrial, 25% Commercial and 50% Residential is an equivalent balance. Think this way, lad as my suggestion. I take this suggestion because it is supposed to be this way.
wow that is no fun at all....I make zones like people would live and that is fun
this is from the snes you should look at city skylines
I just got my first megalopolis in 2021! Haha it took me like two days and a lot of research on the internet
Both beats building this amazingly large empty city and watching it grow into a metropolis.
This makes me feel cozy.
Tienes la room???
No Fire Departments to go with the Police Departments... Seriously?! And the railways are lead to nowhere! Whatever works for you doesn't work for the rest of us.
I was never able to get a city over a million in this game!
You can't use rails or power lines on the water because it will cause the ship wreck. Also you must bulldoze everything near the fire even the zones. Plus building a fire dept. does not help put it out.
you can build pwerlines and railways over water dude.
SeanDaRyan it will cause a ship to crash if you do so go ahead.
no it wont
I just confirmed it does. If you dont believe me start a new game and build a sea port and when the ship appears put many rails and powerlines around it then turbo speed and watch what happends. You are a fucking moron. Dont comment on something you know nothing about.
you can build power lines and rails over water, just dont put them all in a bunch or it will cause shipwrecks, space em out a bit

I didn’t even know there was a money cheat. Kinda defeats the purpose of playing the game though.
So many industrial zones! Can you add more while you're at It? Lol.
I finally did it!!!! Thank you for this video
You didn't try hard enough to bulldoze the fire
For a game THIS WAS AWSOME
Why do you use mass trainset
Do Not Build Roads Because You'll Get Fired In SimCity
@@pajamachanneltowerofphilip9200 ok good
How long you need without the money Cheat?
47.3 years.
I once achieved this with my Pro Action Replay!
Some hardcore shit happpened at 6:41 WTF LOL
Money cheat watch video please
sure is a lot of industrial zones
My copy saves always deleted, feelsbadman
Nuclear power plants in the 1900..
People demanding airports in 1903, 4 years before plane invented
I cant do it! From argentina , its imposible! Someone help me!
Have a look at HC Bailey, 615000, no cheats, no zone stacking, on hard
I was going 1.5x sleed and this was very helpful. I know you kinda cheated but still now i know the general idea of how to set up a city.
Anyone notice when the money about went from zero to 999999
Duh. Everyone.
Where do people live during the first 1,5 years? Population of 8480, before the first R-Building is built. :-)
This is like watching how middle east oil countries build their cities
Nuclear power plants in 1900!
what kind of city is this?!?!?!?
a big one
I'm gonna have to say---your planning sucks! already seeing too many flaws with your #061
wtf ?
Gem watching during 2020 Pandemic
Should mention this is just a cheat video.
Oh, I see!!! You're not supposed to care about crime and pollution. Silly me!
Maybe do it without cheating ? That might be impressive.
Wow. I felt cheated because i was looking forward to see that creator of this video would put out Mario Statue in city. Wasted 1 hour... If i knew it sooner i would skip video to the end if i knew no Mario Statue.
工業地帯を多数設置すると公害が出るで！😱

Now without cheats😂

Melhor que a sua e a minha que nunca chegaram em uma megalópole...
Ué, 8.645 BR Aquis?
Map 061 FTW!
Hahahahah 1:11:11 xD
Pollution city no thanks
Notice how at around 6:23 he goes from $0 to basically infinite money. I’ll be impressed when he does it without cheating.
Go towel off Victor. We don't have time to wait for that.
Impossible.
haha didnt notice that. nice touch
no se vale 6:43 uso truco!
pollution
"we demand jobs!!!"
Here are some factories.
"We demand clean air!"
Can't win.
ahh thats not fun to watch. You just cheated for all the money.
Ya lo entendí! la R necesita C y C necesita I es muy fácil!

So are cigarettes
299000! 10000!
Easy with cheats -.-
That's a boring ass way to get the Megalopolis 👎👎👎👎
