SIM CITY

Hold SHIFT and type 'FUND' for $10,000.  It will cause an
earthquake every tenth time you do it, so do it before you start
your city.

Another tip is to set the citizen's taxes to 0%.  Then just before
tax collection (December or November if playing at fast speed)
quickly set the taxes up to 20%.  Then after you collect taxes, put
it back down to 0%. This way the citizens think they are not paying
any taxes.

You can build land on water. Find a straight (horizontal or
vertical), stretch of coastline and string a powerline along it.
Next, move one square over, out into the water and string another
powerline parallel to the first. Repeat as many times as you want.
Then just bulldoze all the excess powerlines and you can build on
the new land.

To MAKE land you simply make a 3 lane highway across any water
source.  When you make a road by putting 3 sections of road on top
of three section of road on top of three sections of road (3 by 3)
you make 1 section of land in the middle.

            WWWWW   WWWWW     To make more land, just
            WRRRW   WRRRW     move your roads over, or
L= land     WRRRW = WRLRW     make your roads 4 by 4,
W= water    WRRRW   WRRRW     5 by 5 etc.  Play with
R= road    LLRRRLL LLRRRLLL   it.  It'll work.
