Of course, a warning that this was Windows only would have been nice, but Maxis prefers to collect all the demographic data first before letting this slip.

Account Activation Failed - Sorry, but the information required to activate your account was either not found or was invalid.

Anyone else get this when they tried to register?

I had this really, really vivid dream last night...

When I woke up, I couldn't quite tell whether I was a human who had just dreamed of being a Sim, or a Sim who was dreaming of being a human.

So I went online.

They used to offer this without a registration, two or three years back. Shame that it's now behind closed (if not locked) doors. If I remember correctly, it wasn't actually the ORIGINAL SimCity, but akin to the slightly later DOS version which was, admittedly, a better game.

"SimCity Classic Live requires Windows 95/98 or Windows NT with either
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher
or
Netscape Communcator/Navigator 4.0 or higher."

Feck.
