make sure you build the military base in sc2000 before you fire up sim copter, so you can get that sweet rear end apache that shoots missiles that can knock down buildings.


then shoot your nuke plant for fun (I might be misremembering that bit)

are you referring to the cash doubling trick? it's not a lobby, it's just your first click within the game window

also if you have a 2-star tower you can build a 2x3 set of fast food restaurants underground and instantly find the buried treasure

doesn't work if you have three stars though

Emergency confection port.

there's a billion a train games, I think the maxis published one was 3 or 4? I know they all blow except for one or two of them

what about the dos airline game from impressions

or all the other dos games that came out in like 1992-93 that were spreadsheets with a lovely ui on top

if your tower is wide enough you'll hit the hard coded max number of transport features limit and screw yourself out of the cathedral
