I've got the same problem
- anyone know a solution to that? [/b][/quote]
Works fine here.

All I did was:

1. Extract all files to a folder, not running the setup.exe from the archive.
2. Run setup.
3. Play game.

I didn't change any compatibility settings or anything.

I believe it just goes away on its own.

The monster is attracted by pollution. you can't exactly get rid of it, but try to avoid it's appearance. It usually arrives at the scene, when you've got some really dirty areas. And now imagine what happens, if a nuclear power plant is placed in the middle of such an area...

Hi all !

I have the original SimCity on a diskette. I would like to play this game, but I have a problem: it asks me to enter a code, either a city name or a population, before I can play the game. (I guess it's to verify I legally bought the game.) I remember thoses codes were printed on a red-vine sheet. But I lost this sheet

(If I click 'Enter' a certain amount of time, I can play the game, but I can't do anything since a lot of disasters always happen. Of course, disableling disasters in the menu won't do anything.)

Do anyone have a copy of the code sheet ? Thanks!

well I mean if you can play it online.. why play it offline :blink: ? I love simcity 1 but I dont have it so I often play on the web. I got the floppy version of sc2k tho. complete with advert for sim city 1 on CD!! All in mint and it cost me 50p

Mine did the same. I loaded it twice and it said no go, but in fact the game did load and I can play it..Don't ask me why just try starting the game.

I remember that the manual for Nintento´s version say something like 7 seconds.

I remember playing this game in the early 90s with my friends and having a great time around my first AT 80286. Everything was so simple in this first version, and yet you became very addicted to it as your city grew rapidly before your eyes... so as your funds inevitably turned red after a while.
One of the best games ever, no doubt about it.
