Arcologies
Arcologies are huge, there big, they cover your entire city window(so
what if i'm exaggerating a bit?)and make your eyes cross, but they make
your population soar until New York City looks like Dullsville. That
sums up arcologies (otherwise known as arcos) in a nutshell. Below you'll
see, find out about, and drool, over these "huge, tall, dense, cities-in-a-building",
according to the SC2000 manual.
Plymouth Arcology: This is more of an industrial arco. It produces
a lot of pollution, more than the gas power plant (see
Power Plants). This is the first available arco, and you can get by
with them for a little while.

Forest Arco: These small, yet charming arcos are probably good if you want
a city with little pollution, but even though it pollutes least of all arcos, it still
does a lot. Doesn't hold many people (ranks last).

Pollution: 10 units
Population(design capacity): 30,000
Power Required: 5 mw
Land Value: 120,000,000

Darco: I'm not going to say much about the Darco, let's just say it's a good overall arco,
average pollution and crime, good population. According to legend, people who live in there are
insane minds driven crazy by evil spirits. Oooo...um, here are the stats.

Launch Arco: The Launch Arco is the big baby. It's basically the largest prize you can
get in Sim City 2000 (but once my friend told me the big prize is getting the secret to SimEarth,
big deal!). Good population, but pollution and crime always come with that, right?! But most
people don't care, just go for the people man!!
