This game is probably one of the reasons I still play games today. Until it, I'd only been able to play some RTS games and Zoo Tycoon, and nothing else offered me as much flexibility and immersion, especially without an internet connection on that PC. It was the first game I got in trouble for playing too much of, but hardly the last.
