Be the hero of your very own city as you design and create a beautiful, bustling metropolis in SimCity BuildIt, the most popular city builder on mobile, and other SimCity games. Every decision is yours as your city gets larger and more intricate. Make smart choices to keep your citizens happy and your skyline growing. SimCity Classic (68k) (Mac abandonware from 1989) To date, Macintosh Repository served 1284289 old Mac files, totaling more than 247093.2GB! The original SimCity was released in 1989. It was one of the most innovative titles of its time, allowing the gamer to plan, build, and maintain a city from scratch. The 1994 Windows port went largely unappreciated, and after failing to sell well in stores, SimCity Classic was pulled from the shelves shortly after the release of the sequel.

Issues fixed[edit]
Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows[edit]
- The original disc release uses a 16-bit installer.
Install with a modified 32-bit installer[citation needed] |
---|
|
Install with SimCity 2000 Installer[citation needed] |
---|
|
Traffic and water animations are frozen[edit]
Set the game to run in 256 Colors compatibility mode. This will not fix the problem on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 since they are locked in 32-bit depth, and 256-color mode is simply emulated without actually being used.
Saving or loading crashes the game[edit]
- Saving and loading cause crashes on Windows 7 and later without this fix.
Use patched executable[4] |
---|
Apply the SimCity 2000 compatibility patch. |
Changing the game speed from pause crashes the game[edit]
Game runs too fast (DOSBox)[edit]
- Fast computers may cause disasters in Cheetah speed to run rampant before you can react.
DOSBox - CPU speed[citation needed] |
---|
|
Correcting aspect ratio (DOSBox)[edit]
- Running the game on contemporary 16:9 or 16:10 monitors can result in a distorted picture. This can be fixed by altering a DOSBox configuration file.
Correct aspect ratio[citation needed] |
---|
|
Black scrollbar padding (Windows 10)[edit]
- On Windows 10 the right-hand scrollbar may have a margin of black pixels at some resolutions.
Use Windows 8 compatibility mode[citation needed] |
---|
Set the Compatibility mode to Windows 8. |

Notes
- ↑ 1.01.1When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%
,%PROGRAMDATA%
, or%WINDIR%
might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%VirtualStore
on Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ 2.02.1File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS and/or PC booter game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
