I played Sim City 3000 and Sim City 4 and enjoyed them a lot especially when I was younger. I actually still have Sim City 3000 on my laptop. I didn't play the one from 2013 or 2014 or whenever it was anymore because I watched videos and read some tests about it and decided for myself that they had ruined the entire series with it.

 
I Played SimCity 2000, Sim City 3000 and SimCity 4 + the Rush Hour expansion LOVED IT!

But I never played the later games they didn't look good.

 
Played 2000, 3000, 4

Some year ago I played again and I still have the screenshot of the city I created

Nothing special, was pretty much to try some mods

More recently I played Cities Skylines

 
I played the original.

I also played 2000 a lot when it first came out.  I did get 3000 and tried it, but I never liked it because it was too complicated compared to 2000.  I liked 2000 a lot...

I must be getting old.

 
I have played them all. Enjoyed the ones as a kid with the horrid graphics. I think some of the more recent ones are too complicated and take away from the enjoyment of the game overall.

I'm 17 so only have ever played the 2014 one - was a complete joke. The cities were tiny and nothing worked really :/  was fun with friends.

The cities were tiny, they originally introduced the game without the ability to play it while you're off the internet, the game had horrific bugs - especially the traffic which they completely messed up and then tried to fix with DLCs for which you had to pay money. Paying money to get bugs fixed in a game for which you already paid like what? 40$? 50$? 60$? Ridiculous.

 
I was obsessed back in 2004-2006 or so. Pretty much all the songs I listened to as a teenager remind me of Sim City 4 because I used to listen to them while I was playing. And I still have dreams about Sim City 4 from time to time. I downloaded a ton of plugins/mods too, I think those were all fan-made but they were really well done. 

There were a few issues, mainly the "abandoned due to commute times" which was extremely frustrating and never properly explained as to how you're supposed to solve that. 

I never played the newer games, but I was following the development process of those games and reviews and it never looked as good. They should've just built on what they had Sim City 4, fixed any problems, added some new features, better graphics, bigger variety of buildings, roads, etc, maybe better algorithms or something, but overall kept the same style of game play.
