If you do it good, good old Sim City was easiest than modern ones, there was very few things to mantain and you arent asked to lower tax rates.

I managed to find version 2 of Simcity Classic. Not only is the inteface cleaner, but there are also eight graphics sets to choose from, including a really nice high-res 256 color set. I would love to upload it to this site but I have no idea how to.

First register. Then PM site owner, Kosta, about this game. He'll give you a login and password for the upload server.

Specific instructions are here.

I'm sure I can remember a version of SimCity which gave you little video popups every now and then, like an insider's look at some of the citizens of your city. Was this it?

Doubtful, and it definitely was not 2000 either. Look at Simcity 3000 or Simcity 4, might be one of them.

I've downloaded the game, but the files seem to be corrupted:

1. In the game, there's no way to select either a coal or nuclear power plant... it just won't accept a choice so you cannot power your city. Meaning, playing the game is pointless...

2. the terrain editor's menu texts are all messed up.


Would anyone k nwo what to do about this, or even better, where to get the DOS version?

Thanks a million!
R.

Does any have or did anyone ever play SimCity Enahanced CD? It was regular Simcity ported to the windows environment, but it came with goofy films clips and enhanced sound. And let me tell you, the film clips are pretty cheesy! In normal Simcity, when the newspaper reports flash up, or when the helicopter gives a traffic report, in SimCity CD full motion video clips out pop up. Anyway, I imagine its hard to come by these days, so I was wondering if anyone had it or had played it here.

I'm running SimCity Classic in XP and it goes way too fast! Even when set on "slow" I'm going through a year in about 5 seconds. Is there any way to slow this down? I also tried it in Win95 compatibility mode and it makes no difference.

Try using Dosbox (download here), depending on your CPU power it can be enough, if not and the game run still too much fast, slow down Dosbox with CTRL + F11 (just in case : here you can read the abandonia's tutorial)

If for some reason you don't want to use DosBox, you can try to use some "CPU slowdown program" like Mo'slo or other similar
