Default how to remove

I'm running this on XP, but I've decided I like 2000 better. How do I remove classic? It doesn't show up in add/remove programs, and it doesn't have uninstall with the setup or start menu folder. Any advice?

Thanks,
Joanne

Actually, yes.
Some of really old games don't have such a thing as uninstall function to begin with.
You just delete them from your HDD and call it a day.

There was some sort of claw command that had to be entered (along the lines of Alt+S), but I cannot remember what it was.

I think it was documented in the original DOS instructions, as I cannot imagine figuring it out for myself.

Does anyone recall this little easter egg (the score) and how to reveal it?

I think you hold down "Q" for Query and left click on the stadium.

THAT IS IT!

Thank you. BTW, some in this thread complain that the posted version here is the windows port, and not the original DOS version. I HAVE the DOS version and could Upload it, but I don't know how. What should I do?

I did, and the upload seems to be successful. I also included screen-shots, as I think the DOS version is much prettier than the Windows version (Windows seems a tad garish). Now, I guess it is just a matter of making it available, and linking it. Enjoy.

Thank you for allowing me to be of service.

The best part of the game is unleasing earthquakes and Godzilla on your city.

Question

Has this been posted somewhere? The article for SimCity Classic still says it's DOS compatible but it's not. As others note, it's a Windows installer, you can't run it in DOSbox. I see no platform specific downloads either.

Well, technically you _can_ set up Windows 3.11 on DOSBox...
