The game is called SimCity, and is a couple of years old.  The colour
version (SimCity Supreme) is newer and looks a lot better in a demo,
but my Mac is b&w sigh!

It is made by Maxis Software, and can be obtaindes via the distributors,
Bro/derbund, or any of the usual mail order places.

Folks, please, please don't try to avoid paying for games such as
SimCity.  If we do, fine companies such as Maxis will stop making
them, and we'll all lose.  Look at it this way - $30 for SimCity,
and $30 for the Terrain Editor (or whatever it cost - I forget)
was $60 part of which went into SimEarth.  And part of the $60
or whatever for SimEarth might fund something even better, if you
can imagine that.   Thanks for listening.
