I played Sim City last night for the first time, so I thought I would get a copy for myself. I notice there is a Sim City Supreme. What's the dif? Is it worth the extra bucks? What's Sim Earth like? Thanks!! _______________________________________________________________________________ | J. B.

When I went to buy SimCity, there were seven boxes on the shelf: two of them were plastered with five decals proclaiming COLOR!, COLOR!, 32-COLOR QUICKDRAW!!, MacIIci COMPATIBLE, and SUPREME. The other five boxes had no decals, said nothing about color, and the color illustrations were "from other platforms." Needless to say, I bought the SUPREME package for my IIsi. It contained SimCity v1.2c and the Terrain Editor. (Hmm, I dunno if the TE was included in the less-than-SUPREME package.) -- | Ralph P Carpenter | InterNet: Ralpho@acc.fau.edu | Blake's 7: | | Sr Programmer/Analyst | Bitnet: Ralpho@FauVax | The | | Florida Atlantic Univ | Ci$: 74015,644 GEnie: Ralpho | Motion | | at Boca Raton | Vox: 407/367-2616 Fax: -2749 | Picture |

From the documentation: ABOUT SIMCITY SUPREME: SimCity Supreme is the ultimate version of SimCity for owners of the Apple Macintosh II, IIx, IIcx, IIci or SE/30 [also runs on IIsi --KS] It includes the Color Mac II version of SimCity, the SimCity Scenarios, the Macintosh SimCity Terrain Editor, and lots of pre-built cities for you to tour- study, re-design, or destroy. REQUIREMENTS: - Color QuickDraw in ROM: i.e., Mac II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, SE/30 [or IIsi --KS] - Monitor capable of either 16 colors or 16 grey scales - 2 meg RAM NOTES: ... not compatible with every init, control panel device and desk accessory on the market.... This version will not run on the internal monitor that comes on an SE/30. You will need an external color or grey scale monitor. SPECIAL FEATURES: ... - 16 color hi resoluation grpahics - Multifinder compatibility - Autoscroll - No copy protection Hope this answers your question. P.S. In case anyone missed my previous posting, if you have troubles running it on a IIsi (symptom: "miniblinds" obscuring window), try removing Adobe Type Reunion. --K -- ........................................................................... : Kathy Strong : "Try our Hubble-Rita: just one shot, : : (Clouds moving slowly) : and everything's blurry" : : clouds@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu : --El Arroyo : :..........................................................................:
