SimCity 2000 for Win95 is my personal favorite SimCity game (sadly a 16 bit EXE). It's a sandbox style game, with no real end goal. SimCity 1 started as a map editor for a helicopter game, that was more fun than the actual game. It would be great to see a new triple A reboots of SimCity (and real time strategy) games, but without any casual or free2play or DLC flavours - just straight old school games game mechanics with modern 2D/3D graphics.


If you want to get it running again without too much of a headache, Good Old Games has it for $6.

Thanks, but there a comment mentions it's the inferior DOS version.

I occasionally play the Win95 version of SimCity and Doom 2 in a WinXP VM. Another Win95 launch title, Pitfall works fine on 64-bit Windows.


What's the difference between the DOS and Win95 versions? I only played it on Mac, but the DOS version seems basically like what I remember.
