Great game, but not the Windows version

Love the game and all, but it's not what I expected it to be. I grew up with the Windows version and was expecting it. Nowhere on the page did it indicate it was the inferior DOS version. Still a great game, though.

Good Game But Expected Windows Version

I was certain that SimCity 2000 Special Edition was the Windows 95 version. This is the DOS version. It's a pretty inferior experience.

Awesome game, but DOS version

I love this game. Back why I first got it, it was in fact the Windows version. This is not that. I purchased it here again hoping it was the Windows version with a few fixes (ie. 256 color limitation 'bug'), however when I fired it up it was the DOS version. Don't get me wrong, it's still awesome. I just prefer the Windows interface for it better. Still worth the price I paid, I'm just letting others know which version they're getting.

Skip this. DOS version, not Windows.

This is the DOS version of SC2K, running on Dosbox. Compared to the Windows version, it is stuck at a lower resolution, takes much longer to launch and exit, and generally feels clunkier.
