I recently acquired the North American 1.1 release of SimCity as published by Brøderbund (with "Godzilla" on the cover). The disks mount and read beautifully and I was able to image them without a hitch.
However, the copy protection scheme is such that it wants you to insert the "original" SimCity diskette in order to authorize the installation, even if the disk is already inserted. In other words, it doesn't see the original disk as being "official", and I end up in a loop of requesting, and subsequently ejecting, the SimCity diskette. Even attempting to play straight from disk, including on a Mac Plus (as opposed to my LC III) results in the same problem.
Any suggestions?
