Is there more than one version of SimCity called 1.2c.?
I recently bought the Supreme version for a Mac IIsi at a store but when I 
got it home the Extras disk was just a copy of the game disk.
The game itself ran fine, though.

When I returned it, they were out of stock and couldn't tell when they 
would get any more so after waiting a week I called on MacConnection.

Here's the problem, the version they sent me (1.2c again) had both disks
but the simulation is not working correctly.  The program starts fine, but as 
soon as it puts up the opening map, the display scrambles in a static like
pattern. The game still plays, but the display is all messed up.

Now the strange part.  If I start the game with the control panel set to 4 colors or black and white and then boost it to 16 colors after the game has started
it runs perfectly.

Any ideas ?
