Classic Sim City

This was one of the first 'real' games I played, and even today it still is a classic. Some elements of this game I still miss in the later games, such as water power and progress through time, unlocking new (and even futuristic) stuff. Certainly not an easy game and of course with dated graphics, but still one of the best games I played.

An addictive game

Since there are so many reviews, here a rumour: It is said that you can import cities from the old SimCity by renaming the save file from .cty to .sc2 That said, who has the old SimCity? Well.. it's source code has been released. It's available under the name "Micropolis" on SourceForge!

MS DOS version.

The game is good but for Mac, it's the DOS version, the windows one was better. (¬_¬)

Title

After tabbing out, won't maximise again, so I have to save game and reload to get back to fullscreen. And I don't know if they somehow bugged out this version, but my power plant keeps exploding for no reason.

Game looks good on my screen

A bit steep learning experience but the new dosbox utility GOG added in allows you to play fullscreen and choose DDRAW renderer. Game is definitely cool and witty, and who knows, maybe would come in handy one day - if you plan on running for mayor ;-)
