Theclaw135 4 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I was looking at my shelf of old games and spotted SimCity Classic. For a game this popular, the article has minimal information about the Windows 3.x or Windows 9x releases. To add confusion, the same name / cover art was used for DOS and Windows/Mac. There's floppy versions (some 3.5" copies say 5.25" disks are available by request), and various CD-ROMs (Deluxe Edition, etc). As for my test results, I've had decent success running the native 32-bit version on Windows 11. I started by using a workaround for the 16-bit installer (much like SC2000). Being tile-based, the game's form of "widescreen" is resizing the window to expand the view. Sounds/music can be toggled on/off, plus they'll mute on focus loss. But the help file doesn't work out of the box (WinHelp is deprecated). A few details are slightly bothersome by modern standards. No zoom feature I know of, and the mouse wheel doesn't seem to scroll the main game window (either horizontal or vertical). Reply (Quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
