-
- Thank you for checking out the SimCity 2000 Theme Pack!
-
-
- For Microsoft Plus! Pack owners:
- The SimCity 2000 Theme Pack Installation Wizard will automatically copy
- the SimCity 2000 Theme files into the subdirectory that contains your
- current Plus! Pack Theme files. Once the SimCity 2000 Theme Pack has
- been installed, 3 new themes will become available in the Desktop
- Themes manager: SimCity 2000 Residential, SimCity 2000 Commercial, and
- SimCity 2000 Industrial. Each Theme has it's own wallpaper, font &
- color scheme, font & windows size settings, icons, and cursors. The
- screen saver and sounds are identical for all 3 themes.
-
- For Microsoft Windows 95 without the Microsoft Plus! Pack:
- If you do not have the Microsoft Plus! Pack installed, you can still
- use the SimCity 2000 Theme Pack. The Installation Wizard will copy the
- files into the standard locations for cursors, bitmaps, sounds, and
- screen savers and will add registry entries allowing you to easily call
- up the various Schemes. For Sounds: Open the Sounds Control Panel. In
- the Sounds Properties window, select the SimCity 2000 Sound Scheme. For
- Cursors: Open the Mouse Control Panel. In the Mouse Properties, select
- the Pointers tab. In the Pointers page, under Scheme, select SimCity
- 2000 Cursor Scheme. For the Desktop: Right-click on any open area of
- the desktop and select Properties from the menu that pops up. First,
- select the Background tab. The SimCity 2000 Theme Pack will have
- installed 3 new Wallpaper bitmaps, SimCity 2000 Commercial, SimCity
- 2000 Residential, and SimCity 2000 Industrial. Select the bitmap you
- wish to use and select the Tile option immediately under the Wallpaper
- select box. Next, select the Screen Saver tab. A new screen saver will
- have been added called The Mad Zoner. This is the SimCity 2000 screen
- saver. With The Mad Zoner selected, clicking on the Settings button
- will allow you to change the speed, tile size, and disaster frequency
- for the screen saver as well as importing tile sets created by the
- Urban Renewal Kit. Next, select the Appearance tab. In the Scheme
- selector, three new Schemes (SimCity 2000 Residential, SimCity 2000
- Commercial, and SimCity 2000 Industrial). Select the Scheme you wish
- to use and the font settings and colors will be changed to reflect that
- scheme.
-
- This product is inspired by the award winning Maxis simulation, SimCity
- 2000.
-
- Based on the phenomenally successful SimCity Classic, SimCity 2000
- allows YOU, the user, to build and manage a hustling and bustling
- metropolis. You're given a plot of barren land to zone into industrial,
- residential, and commercial areas where people work, live, and play.
- Lay roads, subways, highways, and railroads to connect the zones and
- watch your city grow as citizens immigrate into your city. As your city
- grows, you must deal with crime, education, and health issues by
- strategically placing police stations, schools, and hospitals. Add
- parks and stadiums, on-ramps and bus stops, airports and seaports as
- your citizens' needs grow. Manage traffic, the budget, and the needs
- of your constituents, or face riots, public ridicule in the presses,
- and eventual impeachment! (Hey, this sounds good!) One of the best
- selling games for the PC and Mac, SimCity 2000 has garnered dozens of
- awards and ruined countless careers, educations, and marriages.
- SimCity 2000 is available for DOS, Mac/PowerMac, Windows 3.1,
- Windows 95, Super Nintendo (in Japan only, so far) OS/2, Sega Saturn,
- and the FM-Towns. A Sony Playstation version will be coming soon.
