This 22 year old architecture student living in the Philippines built a city in Sim City 3000 with over 6 million sims and a little over 9.1 million in total population. Took him like 3 years to build the whole thing and 1.5 of those years he spent creating a theoretical working design to do the grid layouts and find the best possible way to make the city and the sims efficient. He basically beat a game which is considered by many to be unbeatable.

Here's the link to the interview with the guy explaining his Totalitarian city and design process.

For the lazy here is the youtube video.


He wins like +100000 internet points from me, pretty crazy stuff.

Could you imagine going into an interview with a city as their architect and telling them you BEAT Sim City 3000? Wonder this is something he puts on hit resume?

Subways would be cool, too bad american's love their cars so much!

Now this is dedication. This guy kicks the ass of that guy who was playing the dumb gem game.

This is truly spectacular and I hope he has that game for download somewhere. I would love to see the details myself.
