don't buy this

Seriously don't buy THIS! It is the DOS version, don't ask me why because I don't know. Just go to ebay and buy the windows version, you will be amused to find that it runs under WIN10! I REAPET IT WORKS under Win10! The windows Version that was original for Win95! It runs without virtual machine! Without even compatibility mode and it runs in 4K! It actually is pretty good playable in 4k. With all sounds and with music, even the asset editor works perfectly fine!. But one warning, the installer does not run, you just have to copy the files manually since there is no copy protection and no registry entry needed it just runs like a charm!.

Great nostalgy!

Awesome to play it several years later! I'm 35 and I was 10 when I used to play it. I've just checked some videos on you tube and also tried to remember some stuffs on my own... really good. I built a very big city taking almost the entire map. My only reccomendation is to turn off the disasters, cause they really suck if you just want to have some fun and cool game where things happens "on your time". Enjoy it!
