Actually it works with 4-bit video.  I happen to like SimCity a lot,
but it does have one annoying feature.  On an 8-bit system, it starts up
and tells you to put the machine in 16 color mode, and then exits.  It
certainly can't be for speed reasons.  The graphics are *SLOW*.  Since
none of the rest of my software makes this requirement, I tend to forget.
Even Falcon and Arkanoid work, they just become too slow to do any real
gaming.  Maybe 1.1d will fix this???  (hint)
