No such thing without hacks. I'm certain it would have been cataloged on one of the information sites otherwise.

If you're referring to SimCity 3000 Unlimited on GOG.com then yes!
In your shortcut for the game add -w after the executable.

For example, my shortcut is this:

"C:\GOG Games\SimCity 3000 Unlimited\Apps\SC3U.exe" -w -r640x480 -intro:off

I'm very happy I could help!

I found the information here:

and here:
http://simcityforum.com/showthread.php?t=848

The latter has some other commands, like the handy -intro:off!

For me this only changes the resolution, and turns the intros off. Any idea why it won't run in a window? (Win7)

Windows 10 here - so this might not work, but what I do is:

"C:\GOG Games\SimCity 3000 Unlimited\Apps\SC3U.exe" -w -r1024x768"

And then I go into compatibility and set the colors to 16 bit. For some reason the colors allow windowed mode. Works for the the CD version too.
