I just uploaded a complete disk set of "SimCity 2000 for Macintosh" to the Internet Archive. This game is from 1993. This one is really special, because I could finally include the untouched "Scenarios" disk, which I had never seen before.

I included complete KryoFlux streams, 300dpi scans, as well as 1440K / 800K Macintosh disk images. Have fun! 😃

Na, da soll doch nochmal einer sagen, es würde sich nicht auch mal lohnen, Disketten zu putzen! Ich hatte diesen speziellen Datenträger im Grunde schon aufgegeben, aber nach der vorsichtigen Reinigung mit einem weichen, feuchten Tuch ließ sich anschließend alles wieder sauber auslesen. SimCity 2000 für den klassichen Macintosh. Hurrrahhh! 😃

P. S. Hier nun der fertige Link: https://archive.org/details/sc2000_en_mac

"There is also a graph window for referencing your overall progress or lack thereof, which is awesome if you love graphs. And - I mean- if you're into a game like #SimCity, you probably are."

I feel personally attacked. I had to switch from graphing on my work computer to type this... (gir)

So, #Israel decided to play real-life #SimCity with #Lebanon, leveling villages like they're just outdated pixel art. 🚜💥 Meanwhile, The Guardian serves up its usual word salad, hoping readers can find the actual story hidden between the links and subscription promos. 📰🤦‍♂️

I just downloaded SimCity 4 and the first thing they want me to do in the tutorial is slash public school funding and bussing lol

The way I'm about to levy property taxes on these sims

And just like that, someone generously uploaded complete and brand new Greaseweazle flux streams of the Sim City Graphics diskettes to the Internet Archive. Up until today, these streams had been missing from my personal collection. I'm so grateful to the retro community for sharing all of these precious data!

These disks are part of Digitoxin's "Maxis" collection: https://archive.org/details/20230521

Clint from LGR also answered a question I had in an earlier post: SimCity didn’t have in-game music (in fact, SimCity 2000 was the first version to include it).

Nice, LGR covered “SimCity Enhanced CD”, which is exactly the version I played in the 90s (except I had the German version). I agree that those video sequences are extremely cheesy and annoying, still I have some nostalgia for them.

I disagree with him on the 256-color graphics, though: to me, they look much nicer than in the original.

As much as I adore classic DOS games and their aesthetics, I gotta admit Windows 3.1 made it possible to push game resolutions to a whole new level! 😍
