C08926RC@WUVMD.BITNET (Rob) (01/10/90)
I just bought SimCity, but I'm having some problems. Whenever I try to run one of the scenarios, it gives me a "Fatal Error: Couldn't Alloacate a Buffer." Also, if I create a new city, eventually it gives me another Fatal Error, something about memory. I have tried this on both a Compaq portable with 640k and a V-20 chip, and an Epson Apex II with 640k. Anyone have any ideas about what's happening here? |===================================================| | Rob Caton | | | Programmer/Analyst | "I live with danger | | Washington University | everyday, J.

Thanks to everyone for your help. Now why didn't I think about that? I think I might have a bad copy, because it still wouldn't work. I decided to run the install program and make another copy, but the install program wouldn't work. I'm going to exchange it for another copy today and see how that works. I'll keep you informed... |===================================================| | Rob Caton | | | Programmer/Analyst | "I live with danger | | Washington University | everyday, J.

Hello,
Does anyone out there know the command to embezzle funds in the Mac
Version of SimCity?
Thanx,

To embezzle funds, enter FUND. Note: It must be in capitals and you can get up to $80,000 total as many times as you need. As an aside: this was probably a designers tool and wasn't supposed to be part of the shipped version. It may not work forever. -John-

You can also CHEAT Sim City by using FEDIT. Just Figure what the HEX code for 20000 (the Starting about of money in SimCity) then change that to what ever amout you wish!!!

Entering the incorrect password would result in endless disasters; so much that you will never be able to get the game going. (even after disabling it!) I have no hints. I only know that pressing shift then typing in fund or maybe funds would give you more $ to spend. I also heard that building at borders gives a higher population. -James PS Got any hints?

Those of you who have played SimCity, have you PAID Maxis for the hint for embezzling funds or did you just come by it through discussion with other players? I'm curious to know if the packet they sent you was worth it. Along the same lines, I know you can get upto $80,000 but though experimentation, it seems a disaster strikes after several consecutive trips to the till without spending anything. Has anyone seen this and does Maxis address this in their hint doc? Curious 'bout it? -John-
