So I really think they did the right call to sell the DOS version. The network edition is yet another one, making it 3 in total for Windows.

But sure, if you're much into SCURK it might be an argument.ĭO NOTE THAT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT NORMAL EDITIONS FOR WINDOWS, ONE FOR 3.11 THAT IS 16-BIT AND ONE FOR 95 THAT IS 32-BIT (but still with a 16-bit installer, hence why it's not possible to install natively on 64-bit Windows but runs fine except for saving if you just copy the files). The Urban Renewal Kit is also better integrated, but that's hardly an argument, I think they just work differently. The only thing the Windows edition(s) have going for them is that the different statistics in the City toolbar becomes windows immediately when clicking, no more momentary windows or holding and dragging. But sure, you may get some extra useable screen estate. There's a fourth zoom level, but that makes the resolution argument moot. Hardly anything on the World Wide Web either, all I found was this Not even the hailed resolution is something to long for, since the game is designed for the low resolution and you cannot make anything out on modern monitors' high DPI. I cannot find any info on that in any of the documentation, really weird. The other speed settings have at the same time been lowered from the DOS version. The new fourth game speed setting African Swallow is useless since it unhooks the game from the real time clock or whatever it is that keeps programs in pace, so the game runs at warp speed on any computer from the past two decades. It captures the vibe from the beautiful Macintosh score pretty well, especially given how much music differed between chips and canvases at the time. The DOS version music is at least tolerable, even decent in not too large doses. I cannot stand it, I have to have it turned off. These things above might be better on modern Windows, since I guess it borrows those functions from the OS, but on XP and below is it awful. *The status box has been integrated in the bottom of the window with the icons entirely removed, and together with the thin typefaces it's as good as gone. The Macintosh typeface was an integral part of the game experience in my opinion, but more importantly was it clear and did an excellent job at providing information smoothly. *The typeface is the shitty old Windows thin Arial(ish).
