2.0 out of 5 stars Warning - Not WinXP Compatible!, January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sim Mania 2: SimCity 3000, Sim Theme Park, Sim Coaster, and Sid Meier's Sim Golf (CD-ROM)

Contrary to what the "Platform" above suggests, these games are not really compatible with Windows XP. Read the "System Requirements." As that says, SimCity is compatible and worked just fine. I was not so lucky with Sim Theme Park.

Sim Theme Park crashed the very first time I tried it. I downloaded an XP fix from the internet and the program did get further along then before. However, it eventually crashed my computer hard - computer shut down and restarted on its own. Even after the restart, my video card acted up until I completely turned off the computer and started it again (a simple restart was not enough). Windows also crashed once.

I decided not to install Sim Coaster or Sim Golf after the bad experience with Sim Theme Park.

I received these as a gift. Since I'm not out any money, I'll give the package two stars for Sim City.

By the way, for those interested, I'm using Window XP Home Edition, AMD Athlon 2.4GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, and 80GB HD.

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Sim Mania 2: SimCity 3000, Sim Theme Park, Sim Coaster, and Sid Meier's Sim Golf (CD-ROM)

all of the games in my pack are perfect!!!
the only one i have a problem with is simgolf!!
i love playing it a little warning though:simgolf is EXTREMELY
addictive!!! i had to tear myself away from it and when i shut it down it takes FOREVER to just turn it off!! the others have no problems at all they shut down perfectly and sim themepark
is beutiful! i especcially like how the people can flock and herd themselves into your camera!! they look like they're about to run you down when your still standing up!!! and simgolf is great to particularely the people and the courses!! the people are fascinating to watch how they're playing golf! they actually hit the ball and unlike other simgames they walk around eachother!! and they're comments are interesting too some of them will cuss about the courses they'll say "this course stinks" only with another word.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sim City 3000 - Not With XP !, March 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sim Mania 2: SimCity 3000, Sim Theme Park, Sim Coaster, and Sid Meier's Sim Golf (CD-ROM)

SimCity looks like a great game, and having played years of SimCity versions was looking forward to playing SimCity3000 on my new machine.

I read the box, had more than enough of what it asked for, and went home to install it. Installed fine, no problems.

Opened it, started to play and within 15 minutes the screen went crazy. I could see my city, but the messages and other side-bar icons were gone. Like they no longer knew how to be drawn.

I guess I will just be out the money I paid for the game (cannot return opened games) and never buy software that does not indicate XP on the label.
