Which SimCity?

[benjgvps]

I want to know what version of Simcity will run on my powerbook 150 with Mac OS 7.5.3. I have tried Simcity 2000 though it needs me to have a 256 colors/grays display which I don't have. Any ideas?

I think you will find this version will work, I've tried it on a similar system with success:

Ok, thanks! I got SimCity Classic on my Powerbook, its not too bad!

Hmmm. I can't find out how to send the services (send fire trucks, police ect). Anyone know?

I don't have SimCity Classic, but I know in SimCity 2000, which I've had for 12 years, there's a square that you can click in the toolbar that will dispatch either policemen or firemen. Clicking and holding will enable you to select either. If you've got a big city with a military base you can send them out too.

I'd check your manual, Maxis manuals were always very well-written and sometimes even humorous.

That's super easy! In SimCityClassic you don't sent firetrucks or police, they send themselves. If a fire spreads quickly or a riot won't end it means you don't have enough fire/police or they are too far away.

mmm... that takes me back
