This is driving me nuts, figured I'd ask here. I know there is what some call Sim City 2.0 but basically it's Sim City (Classic) for Windows 95. Not 3.11 nor DOS either, but a true 32bit installer/executable of the original Sim City for windows.
VOGONs had one thread on it, and they're making false claims. I bought on their posts the Maxis Collections 3 - Sim Classics which has Sim City on it. They claimed it has a true Win95 installer in a hidden directory (or not, not really clear about it.) I tried looking for any hidden files, not hidden files, all over that disc and it's not there so I've already wasted some money on this which annoys me.
Do any of you have any solid leads on this? Which specific disc has it? What year? Perhaps along the edge of the disc you know the code as EA/Maxis puts a copyright, date, all rights and after that a few digit code 7-9 long may have a letter but usually numbers. Perhaps a specific number will be the key to this.
I'd like to play this legit again, not much of a fan of using a java based micropolis. I know it will work because the installer/exe setup was copied from the true version of Sim City 2K for Win95 and that I have got to work in 64bit windows 7 through 10 so I know it's a thing and real and works.
