So, I copied the SC2000 directory from my computer to his computer and then gave it a try. Bringing up the key mapper fixed that problem, but it was a goofy issue nonetheless. Well, for reasons I don’t understand, his keyboard maps differently under DOSBOX. I expected everything to run as it did on my machine-also an HP. It has Vista Home Premium 64 bit, 4gb ram, pretty decent ATI graphics, etc. Now, his laptop is an HP 17 inch entertainment laptop. You have to start it windowed, then, once the game is running-that is, once you seen the terrain-you can ALT-TAB to go full screen. For instance, you cannot start the game in full screen. There are, however, a few things that worked a little goofy. I got the game installed and was able to play. Not only did that work, it worked very, very well. So, I just copied the whole disk to my hard drive and mounted that directory under DOSBOX. Unfortunately, I had problems reading the cd. It runs just fine under Vista 64, so I got really encouraged that this might work. I downloaded the most recent version of DOSBOX and installed it. I knew it existed and had even used it, but it had not occurred to me to try it for this particular game. I rediscovered a nifty little emulator called DOSBOX.

Well, the edition I have happens to have a DOS version, a Windows 3.1 version and the Windows 95 version.

I even tried to install it in my Windows 95 virtual machine, but, as often happened back then, the installation died a very dishonorable death. I tried all of the tricks I knew to get it to run, but it just refused.

I finally found and proceeded to install…er, attempt to install the game on my Vista 64 bit machine. Well, I remembered that I had an old copy of it, from like 1996 or so. But, the one version he had not played happens to be my favorite: Sim City 2000. He even has the abomination called Sim City Snap City and the older Sim Town. He is on a roll having played the original (courtesy the web and the Nintendo Virtual Console) and the more recent entries including Sim City 3000, Sim City 4 and Societies. So now he is on a quest to play all Sim City games. Over the years, he has gone through various phases…rollercoaster games, RPG’s of the Nintendo flavor, sports games, back to rollercoaster sims and, lately, city building. There really isn’t any one type of game that he prefers over another, but he does seem to lean toward the simulation genre more than any other type. He has since he was able to understand what a game is…needless to say, that covers pretty much his whole life.
