Scenario Designer

A long time ago, when I was 13 or so, I wrote a Windows 3.1 program to design scenarios for SimCity 2000. I called it simply "Scenario Designer". I lost that program over time. SimCity 2000's scenario format was, in Windows, simply a standard city file with extra chunks for the scenario data appended to the end. Macintosh hackers had previously figured out their scenario format, which was based on resource forks. -- Myria 03:59, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It says that Sim City 2000 was the first to include actual videos, which is not true. The Deluxe edition of Sim City Classic had videos of the different advisors when they got really mad, and you could earn "peeks" of daily life in your city after doing certain things - 198.82.100.70 01:56, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is accurate; AFAIK, the Deluxe Edition of SimCity Classic was released after SC2000. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. :) DarkMasterBob 11:47, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MacOS?

On Mac OS X 10.4 with classic environment installed, Sim City 2000 briefly flashes onto the screen, but then closes and doesn't run the game. Has anyone else had similar problems? 213.78.94.6 19:59, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Playstaition version

I have it. Why isn't there an article on it? There are scenarios and everything. unfortunately, it's controls are terrible and it thinks that you're still playing with a mouse. It says to press shift+alt to get help :p. and yes, I am putnamehere3145.Putnamehere3145 19:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to put in something about it. After all, you do know the game. :) ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 20:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

There also exists an SNES version, though I think the section would get clouded with a paragraph on each port made.

Too many screenshots?

Does anyone have the feeling there are way too many screenshots here? It's not just affecting the readability of the article, but also breaching WP:FUC by including too many fair use images, some for seemingly minor features. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 20:12, 25 November 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Um, I don't really think so, at least not yet. If any more are added, though, I must say it would be a bit excessiev. — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 20:16, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the problem seems to be localized to at least to Firefox (compare output in IE with Firefox, as of November 25). Appears Red Pooka tried to squeeze the custom city screenshot alongside the table on contents, but it ends up looking not just saturated with images in Firefox, but also messed up in thumbnail arrangement. The paragraph merge in the Overview section didn't help either; it left little room for adjusting image arrangements. When viewed using Firefox, it does appear excessive in first half of the article section; three screenshots in the relatively short introduction and Overview sections, already problematic with the limited space created with the infobox. Also, is there any important use of this individual SCURK building, doesn't Image:Wltvll3.gif fill in this role, depicting the same building many times? ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 20:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Joke

There is the Easter Egg joke that isn't mentioned at all on the main page. "A guy asked me for a quarter for a cup of coffee, so I bit him." I don't remember if that's the exact quote so I didn't add it to the article, if you can verify the quote and have some background on it that would be great.
