Thread: SimCity Classic (aka MS-DOS version)

  1. #1

    I love my computer very much but it won't play one of my favorite games, SimCity, cuz it isn't MS-DOS capable :cry:. I received a tip in my e-mail that I can play the SimCity Classic game ONLINE!! I played it last night and it's very cool. Now if I could just find Brix online I'd be one happy camper!
    Here's the link if anyone else wants to check it out
    SimCity Classic On-line (http://simcity.ea.com/play/simcity_classic.php)
    It's missing some of the features of the MS-DOS version but it's still recognizeably SimCity Classic.

    Dos games, did someone say Dos games? I still run lots of them and make sure that each new system I buy is compatible. You might want to try DosBox which is an open source project for running dos games on older systems, SimCity is showing as supported: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1
    A little glimpse of my collection. I have SimCity Classic as well as the original sim city from 1989 (need a 5.25" floppy to run that one) :mix:

    1989... those were the days... you could run your business on a PC that had about an order of magnitude less RAM and CPU power than my PDA.
    Bedford Accounting, Harvard Graphics, Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect...
    ... and store it all on a 40 megabyte hard disk.

    I jumped the gun a little. I can't download DosBox or maybe I can but I don't get what the requirements mean ... I was re-directed to here LinuxMind (http://dboxfe.linuxmind.de/) and now I think I can't download it :cry: .

    And you had to have a connection to ARPANet and rec.boats if you wanted to waste your days posting messages about boating. You probably get over 40megs per hour now of (.)(.) being posted on Havasubarney.com

    Did you select the Windows Win32 installer version from the downloads page? I know how badly you wanted the Debian woody version but that probably won't work with your hardware

    I preferred Debian's Potato but these days, it's all about Gentoo.

    Try here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/d...use_mirror=umn
    If that doesn't work for you I can upload it to Tom's server for you to download. I think he just added another 40meg mfm drive so there should be plenty of space there
