SimCity 3000 runs and installs in classic mode. It starts up but runs wicked slow. Anyone here know of a solution? I am using OS 10.2 on a iMac G4 1.25GHz...256MB RAM.

I can imagine that theres is anthing wrong with my machine seeing its less than a week old.

its because you run it in classic? why? I imagine it has a carbon or cocoa installer. Sim City 4 is fairly new, i cant imagine you are not able to run native in OS X

There's nothing wrong with your mac. SC3000 in Classic is just slow.
For SimCity 3000 the only solution is to boot into OS 9, it won't work in OS 10 (except for classic). SimCity 4 only works in OS 10.2 or later though.

At least you can use SC3K in Classic. On my TiBook 500, it is impossible. The Opening movie, and then the opeing menu, anything beyond that freezes the program.

At least SC2K works under classic very well.
And SC4 is such bloatware, it requires 4 times the video ram my machine shipped with.
