SimMombasa
Posted By: Jordan117	Date: 7/6/06 5:00 p.m.
A couple months ago, I was messing around with an old copy of SimCity 2000, when I thought, "Hey! Bungie made a map of New Mombasa. Why not recreate it?" So I did. Everything in this map is as accurate as possible: the highways, the maglev railways, the coastlines, the parks, even the date. I also tried to fit in all the parts of the game that take place there: Hotel Zanzibar, the suspension bridge, the space elevator, and the multiplayer maps (Turf is at the place marked "OLD MOMBASA"; Headlong takes place just above the statue on the southern coast of the island, etc.) Here are some pics: Bungie's map of New Mombasa, found in Terminal Map of modern-day Mombasa Overview The place where the Metropolis level takes place -- across the bridge, underground, then through the park, onto the highway, then a left turn onto a side street undrneath the arcologies, which leads to the small canal, which feeds into the bigger canal, with the space elevator on the opposite side (out of sight here). The area near the space elevator -- including the circular roads and access highways. The southern half of the island -- including the real-life areas of Moi Avenue, Kibokoni Park, and Old Town Makadara (all of which appear on Bungie's map). Interesting point -- the most famous landmark in modern Mombasa, giant aluminum tusks over Moi Avenue next to Uhuru Park, appear on Bungie's map as well. They're represented on my map as statues. Old Mombasa -- because of the way I designed the map, you can't see most of it. Oh, well. Notice the plethora of power lines.
