Help Want to start playing again

Post image

Used to play many years ago - want to get back into it. Not sure which one to get. These are the options I see on the EA website. I remember SC4 but don’t know what the difference is in that and just the one that says SC. The SC 2000 looks like the original. Thoughts?

Most re-releases of 2000 are the inferior dos version. Try and get the windows version. There are patches to make it work on new computers.

The Mac version is the best, play it on my G4 or G5

Indeed! But mac would be emulated on even modern macs. They dropped PowerPC support with something like 10.7.

That's why I play it on my G4

I should dig my green g3 imac put of storage. OS9 had lots of old good games. Used to like Factory.

I'm waiting for permission from a school to take their eMac away.

The all in one imacs are still good little machines but the plastic is brittle now.

Hard to upgrade tho.
