| What to Listen to This Week?

This week, I've brought a nostalgic soundtrack from SimCity 2000. It's a short but sweet 23-minute listen that took me right back to the hours I spent building cities. I still like Sim City 2000 because there were these different arcologies. I'm not sure if there were any in this form in other Sim City parts.

You can find the soundtrack here:
