I've just been recently playing around with this game... There are a few "must do" things before you can go to the next level, but all in all, the game is pretty intuitive (P.S.: be sure to indicate if "unplayable" refers to gameplay or tech issues! ).

Actually, I find this like many of the "Sim" games from Maxis. Doesn't have a huge learning curve but for the things needed to make "next level" items, like tennants, etc. In fact, I find it has the hallmark of most games that I admire/enjoy; that it frustrates you just enough to make you want to keep going =P

I've run into a couple of bugs though: One is that at the point where you seem to fail hard enough to lose, it tries to start an animation that makes the game crash back to DOSBox, and second, the factory that makes things like trees, computers, double glazing... doesn't seem to want to deliver, even though it appears that it should.

Edit: Ok, I found how to get the double glazing (and other gadgets) installed for the tennants... Apparently, you can get them to pick it up themselves! Click on the house that needs the gadget, select the gadget screen, select the gaget to be installed and hit the "sell" button... the tenant wil go to the gadget factory and pick it up.

Constructor AVIs

DATA.FIL file located in FLICS folder on CD and in Constructor game folder when installed from CD.
Extract FLICS folder to Constructor game folder, default:
C:/ACCLAIM/CN
Contains all the video animations. Includes intro, win and lose videos within DATA.FIL.
You can now select Display All Video Animations : YES

Default Solution for "Unable to spool file"

I know this is kinda old. But i loved this game so i've been trying to play in on windows XP. (What an headache to make it work >.<!! )

I used dosbox and started playing. But everytime i do something, an error comes up something like "Unable to spool file ..."

A few hours ago i found the solution in a brazilian forum here: http://www.600ml.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11941

Just needed to download those two files :
Parte1 - http://www.mediafire.com/?ditfyw0u0fd
Parte2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?bzgoxyyxczn

Unzip them and then add them to the FLICS file in the Constructor File. Works Perfectly.

Hope it helps

the reason you got the error message is that this game is a rip and it tries to look for video animations. most of people just disabled the video animations, but having them in here is nice as well, if the size weren't this big we could put it on the main site
