After several long years, I got the urge to play this game again out of nowhere, but I dont think its possible. Its only made for win 95. Anyone know how I could possibly play this game on windows xp?

A while back I found a thing online that lets you play windows 95/98 games on windows XP and Vista. It was like an emulator or something, but it would allow the game to install, and be played. I'll see if I can't find it again for ya.

Find the .exe for the game in the install dir. Right click on it, then choose properties, then click the compatibility tab at the top, then check the box for "run this program in compatibility mode for:" then pick win95 (which is the default).

Then try and run the game.

Nothing is more fun than demolishing poorly animated buildings and seeing small pixels run for their lives when you decided it was a brilliant choice to put the city on an active volcano that was also a breeding ground for aliens... I was the best mayor ever in SimCity 2000. I instated new programs like making the school buses longer so that the kids would get smarter, and building the largest freeway that ran into the middle of the desert, and the longest bridge ever with the most confusing structure piling placements that made the bridge go in a zig-zag pattern because graphics forbid I make a diagonal bridge...

I used to like SimTower, but 2000 was good shit too.

both games are awesome.

And do what negrodamus said, thats how to make it work. I play both on my XP box from time to time

Maybe this topic is very old but I want to say that you can play most old games (DOS games) with DosBox. Google the keyword "DosBox" (freeware), download and install it. It'll adjust your PC speed and settings inside a DOS emulator to help you play those games. I've used it with Sim games like SC2000.
