So do we need to wait until Friday or is there a way to start playing today?

 

[Scooby_Doo]

I bought\pre-ordered mine on Origin, not sure if that will make a difference to the release date...

Any idea where I can get my grubby little paws on this original?

EA seem intent on killing what good franchises they have.

The always on DRM on this is another disaster.

I googled for a screenshot and grabbed the first, best one I could find

By the by, I introduced my Ooklets to Simcity Classic. Little son built a lot of police and fire stations, he couldn't understand it why his budget was shot to hell

I figure it's a great way to get kids to understand things like a budget etc while having fun at the same time.

If you would kindly have my babies I would be most appreciative, what a site!!!

 

[Bona Botse]

I'm really worried about the 4km2 play area. Due to that, I haven't pre-ordered yet. Will wait for more reviews.

 

[Ice2Cool]

Anyone know when the digital MAC versionw ill be released? I ordered it yesterday from Origin only to find out its for Windows only. Bit of a bummer - now im R520 out of pocket =(

I know! Best site ever!!! Talk about wasting away the idle work hours!

..... will have to get back to you about that

Its a great site for all those old games we used to play & even if you cant get a game there you will likely get it from somewhere else like say for instance here:

http://www.xtcabandonware.com/ or here:
http://www.abandonwarering.com/

Dosbox works pretty nicely & the support for the older games from the abandonware community is really nice as well, but the dated gfx is hard on the eyes That's what stopped me from playing the older games, sometimes memories are best left as memories.
Give the sites a try, nothing like remembering the good old games we used to play.

After reading all the reviews etc & gripes regarding the new Simcity I think I'll dust off my SC4 Deluxe or even go back to Anno, pity always on DRM/Multiplayer killed Anno 2070 for me just could find anyone to play with, really like the futuristic take on the game but with no LAN it really sucked.
