Future Cities is a mod for Sim City from Maxis that came out about a couple years after Sim City came out (I think. Don't quote me on that).
I pulled the Sim City box out. I usually keep the mod in there. The mod comes in a folder/pocket type packaging. It says on the cover: "Sim City Graphics: Set 2 Alternate Architecture. Graphics Set 2 Future Cities: Future USA, Future Europe, Moon Colony. On the inside back cover it advertises for set 1 which is the Ancient Cities mod. Ancient Asia, Medieval Times, Wild West. On the inside front cover it advertises for the Sim City Terrain Editor. Heh, the problem with my copy is that my original copy of the original disk of Sim City became corrupted over time. Maybe I set it on a device with a magnet or something, but when they sent me a copy of the updated Sim City Classic (this was not around the time of Sim City 2000) as a replacement for the original game I had, the mod wouldn't work anymore. I kick myself for not backing up the original floppies.

I never had much luck with anything in Classic. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
