SimCity 2000 Special Edition

Description

A re-packaged version of SimCity 2000, SimCity 2000 Special Edition (also known as the CD Collection), was released on February 7, 1995 for Microsoft Windows and DOS PCs. In addition to containing All expansions, it also featured the SimCity Urban Renewal Kit, the Vol. 1 scenario pack, remade music, new cities selected by Maxis from a 1994 competition, bonus scenarios and cities, and movies.

The movies were a first for Maxis; SimCity 2000-SE was the first "Sim" game to feature produced videos. These videos included the introduction movie and four commentary videos by Will Wright; the latter were accessed via the "WillTV" application that came with the game.

The Windows 95 version of the game will install in Windows XP 32bit. Various incompatibility ills with the save/load dialogs for later 64bit OS's can be cured with 3rd party patches.

In December 2014 Electronic Arts offered SimCity 2000 Special Edition as a free download for an unspecified limited time. Unlike the original release versions of the game, this downloadable version requires connectivity to the Electronic Arts servers for saves and gameplay. It is the DOS Special Edition with the WillTV movies, packaged with preconfigured DOSBox running at fixed 640x480 and an automatic installer to run in modern Windows.

This collection includes:
SimCity 2000 (base game)
SimCity 2000 Scenarios: Volume 1 - Great Disasters (scenario pack)
SimCity 2000: Urban Renewal Kit (city & object editor)
bonus cities/scenarios
