Had some fun tonight playing with the SimCity graphic modes on MS-DOS. Always the same city, from CGA mono to SVGA. SimCity, SimCity Classic and SimCity 2000. Everything was captured running on my virtual 80486DX 66MHz.

Here's the full resolution PNG:

I know, this is stupid... I was just having some fun. 😜

@dfx if you're interested in something niche, there's a palletized 16 color driver for the Win 3.1 version - 16 colors but handpicked ones that work best for the game.
