I thought I knew the SimCity series pretty well but I never knew there was a "version 2.00" for DOS, renamed to "SimCity Classic".
It has some smaller improvements (built-in terrain editor, slightly higher EGA resolution and all the graphics addon sets) but the biggest is sound card support: no more PC speaker yelling at you when you misclick. Some of the sounds effects were reused in SimCity 2000.
It also has a nice music track but, it being the only one, it unfortunately becomes old quickly.
@foone I half wonder if a Windows Defender 32-Bit bootable CD would run on hardware that old. Maybe not...
@mcc yeah... i remember when Internet Explorer always did that, when in reality the page whose link you clicked had not even received the request to respond to it, and all the bar ticking along was doing was representing how long until IE decided to declare a request-timeout

@katewillaert All it takes to make a graphic novel at Alan Moore's level is a substantial disdain for one's audience and a sincere belief that you are smarter than the readers ever will be. And a pinch (or five) of pessimism to taste.

support archive.org, too! donate a few bucks to them if you can! they deserve your support and they are an insanely invaluable resource - the wayback machine is an archive.org project and the amount of times ive used it to gain access to old files on now defunct websites is countless

please upload any lost software to archive.org instead.
its clear betaarchive has no interest in actual software preservation if they lock their downloads behind contributor status on accounts that can be deleted after a month of inactivity.
