Apropos the original question, I run it on one of the earliest 520 STs, no
expansions.  So should run on anything with a color screen.

Apropos Robert's comment, I personally found it tediously slow, after a
while.  Was cute at first, but after a while the realism-effects begin
to feel like annoying time-wasters.  Like, I want to buy a new X-coil,
so I go to the parts shop, and then have to sit around twiddling my
thumbs while the salesman waits on everyone else in the shop first.
If I want to wait in lines, I don't need a computer game to help me out.
