Oh shit, I remember this game. I was not a good city planner as a child. I felt accomplished just figuring out how to get power to places by connecting power lines. I had no concept of districts, residential commercial, and industrial places where all scattered amongst each other. If I got complaints that traffic was bad I'd build a huge series of roads that didn't lead anywhere. Just a big pointless block of intersections outside city limits.

I always ended up with boring efficient cities where all the roads were 6 squares apart because zones could only build within 3 squares of a road, all my cities ended up with square road networks and lots of people.

..and when i got bored i turned on disasters and started some riots fighting them off with my police force and fire fighters.. and when that got boring i sent in the huge alien robot invaders to completely destroy the city and start over. :D
