Pk., MD 20742 Lines: 22 In reply to the original posting about SimCity "locking up" an Amiga i experienced the same thing on my A2000. I copied it to my hard disk clicked on the icon, then clicked on the "fabricate your own" & ... Nothing... Nada... Zippo... My mouse wouldn't even move... I then tried it from the CLI (w/ the key disk) & it worked fine. To get more strange, I tried the icon approach later (after removing all extraneous windows) and it worked fine, too. One last observation, in my city planning frenzy, "You Sims want what??? Or, you'll do what???", I double clicked the left mouse button when going from "map" to "edit" modes & got locked up again!!! It's a *good* simulation & the Amigatizing (at least externally/visually) was done OK and I'd *highly* recommend it to anyone but this puppy has a few bugs. I intend to document the few I've found and send 'em in w/ my registration. If enough do so, maybe it'll be fixed or even enhanced (wishing, of course) soon. -- Real: Stephen Kelley, Welch Library, Johns Hopkins Univ. Internet: stevek@welch.jhu.edu
