Okay, THAT was annoying... seriously! This afternoon, I had received a fresh set of SimCity Graphics disks for the Amiga. "Ancient Cities" and "Future Cities". They looked and read okay, but - whatever I tried - I could NOT get them to work in WinUAE. I felt so stupid. Only after several hours I realized these disks were not compatible with SimCity 1.2, at all! These were the SimCity Graphics for SimCity512K! After that revelation... yes, of course, it worked!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrmppppffff ........

This has always been a bit confusing to me: The original Sim City "Graphics Pack 1 - Ancient Cities" was also known as "Architecture 2" in its European release. At the same time, it always contained the same three graphic themes: "Ancient Asia", "Medieval Times" and "Wild West".

Anyway: Here's a good European 5.25 360K inch disk set:

Going through old stuff and these are what I believe are the oldest #sims2 screenshots I have taken. I'm going to say these were around Christmas 2006.
Funny story, I got the Sims 2 Holiday Edition for my birthday in Nov 2006 (I think) and because the Compaq we had was pure garbo.
I had to wait for a time until Christmas 2006 when I got a newer Dell Inspiron laptop (Ran the game pretty good until I loaded it with expansions).
Of course these screens are extra crunchy since there are the snapshots and not the higher resolution screenshots.
