Very Computer

There's  actually a linux version - only it's a demo. I remember trying
an irix version of it a few years ago. look at
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/tlau/linux-game.html

Later,

Is anyone running Sim City under Linux?  I understand that it will run
as a DOS app.  Will it work in DOSEMU?

Many thanks.

__|~| 16 Million DEAD.           and the diameter of its destruction, about 7
                                meters, and in it four killed and 11 wounded.

 cnc  HOW MANY MORE?          and time,  are scattered two  hospitals and one
                          cemetery.   But the young woman who was  buried  in
                    the place from where she came, at a distance of more than
             than 100 kilometers, enlarges the circle considerably.   And the
      lonely man who is mourning her death in a distant  country incorporates
into the circle the whole world.  And I won't speak of the cry of the orphans
that reaches God's chair and from there makes the circle endless and godless."

If my mind serves me right, there is also a native Linux version for X11.

If a listener nods his head when you're explaining your program, wake him up.

:> Yep, I'm running it and it works just fine. I downloaded the demo and then
:> sent away for the key - bought it for I can't remember what - and now
:> have the fully functional games. It's nice. I've also run the Dos SimCity
:> under dosemu, but the mouse kept leaving trails on the screen. Never
:> tried to fix it, but it did run okay other than that.

Try to use some other mouse drivers in DOS (ie. gmouse, amouse, etc.)
instead of dosemu's internal-mouse-driver and execute mgarrot may solve
the mouse trailing problem (it works for me).
