If you've already set to play in Win95 compatibility mode, I guess it would be safe to assume that it doesn't work.

Install VMware or Virtual PC with windows 98, and then install Sim City.

Pull up your command prompt, cd to the dir that it's in, and run the exe from there so you can see the error message.
I know Lemmings 2 won't run on anything except a FAT HDD.

 

[gshock888]

remember the old non-dos Windows Sim City where you actually have a Windows Blue bar on top with minimize and maximize and close icons like a normal application? classic!

 

[CraigRT]

not surprised it won't work, is that program not completely DOS based?

 

[brtspears2]

Doesn't Maxis/EA have an online version of SimCity classic, free to play?

But what's the fun in that?

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

My copy worked fine.

The version I had based the calender on your CPU speed though, so it was stupidly fast.
