I loved that game back in the day.

While it was extremely limited due to the tech at the time, I truly enjoyed this and SimCopter for the ability to drive/fly around your created cities. Would love to have seen some semblance of physics included. I just recall any cars you drove up/down hills just conformed to the terrain. Was still extremely fun.

Anyone know the easiest way to play these lately? On Linux?

Both can be played on modern Windows with Krimsky's patches. They'd probably work in Wine, but I've never tested them.

Holy shit thank you. I spent so much time setting up a windows 9...5 or 98 vm just to play streets and copter again but it just crashed.

I always wanted to get that and drive my cities but never did

Blast from the past! I had this on cdrom. As a child I remember our old computer that had Sim City 2000 on didn't have a cdrom drive. Our new computer did. I fondly remember copying my favourite cities from the old to new via floppy disk. Those were the days!

Back then I felt like I’d played everything. Fun to learn about games that passed me by.
