 I had the same problem with SimCity 1.2c on my IIsi.  I called Maxis
yesterday, and they said to try it in Multifinder.  Like you, that
solved all the problems with the strange graphics.  Evidently, SimCity
1.2c does NOT like working in Finder.  Maxis knows about this, and
tells people to use Multifinder.  It is not your imagination.
