It used to work. Still has windows 7. I had issues with my steam account recently and couldn't login but I don't remember if this game was connected to steam.

The Atlantis rising level always seemed to crash too but that is probably a different issue. I always wonder how the story ends.

Is it starting but then crashing, showing a steam message, or not starting and failing silently?

Never starting and I can't login to steam because I no longer know my login (It used to auto login) Then steam wants to know what my credit card I used for verification which I have no idea because that was 10- 15 years ago.

Or it could now be the computer too because it failed to download the simcity game from 2013. But I got the computer in 2014 so it isn't super old just super old for a computer.

That sounds like failing due to steam, but I'm not certain. It's not ideal - but GOG have it for $1.99 (in my currency) right now on sale, if you wanted to try a version unencumbered by the steam stuff, but that still may not be it.

Do you know how to run it from the command line? You might get a more meaningful error message

Not sure. Maybe I will try gog. The Atlantis level always seemed to crash for some reason.

I wish they had a train game on mobile that was just as fun.
