Arcos:

Most of you SimCity 2000 Fans have known about Arcos for a while, probably had them in your own cities. You can skip this section. For those who haven't gotten them but are dying to, or if you're just thinking: "Arco....cool name, it must be good..", read on.

Introducing, the arcos!
Launch ArcoDarcoForest ArcoPlymouth Arco

From left to right, Launch Arco, Darco, Forest Arco, Plymouth Arco. These are all the arcologies in SimCity 2000. As you probably already know, they are the reward at a population of 120,000. These are all cities-in-a-building, they can hold a population of a small city in them. They also produce crime, pollution and traffic. Should you or should you not get them? Which ones to get? Here are my overall picks on the best arcos:

  1. Darco
  2. Launch Arco
  3. Forest Arco
  4. Plymouth Arco
The reason I put Plymouth Arco last is because Plymouth holds a modest amount of people, but produces more pollution than most power plants. I chose Darco as the best, it has good population and an OK amount of crime and pollution, it's the best overall. Forest and Launch, the ones in the middle, are good depending on what type of city you want. Launch is good for population, Forest is good for low pollution and crime.

It's your decision, but make the one you think is best for your city.

And overall, be creative.
