SimCity Reviewed

[Matt Keys]

I have just uploaded PocketMatrix's newest review, SimCity. Thanks to for the free copy, and thanks to James Sonne for reviewing it. You can reach the review .

[Warren]

WOW! That looks like such a good game (and a real good review too!)! The only problem is that $30 price tag... Is it that you download the program, and pay $30 bucks for the registration code? If so, then maybe you could tell us the magical code? I mean, most of us probably own SimCity for PC (at least I do), so why should we pay for a mini version? Come on, you know you want to. Let's take a vote, Who wants Matt Keys to tell us the code so we don't have to pay an insane $30 for 4Mb? Quake is free, so why shouldn't SimCity 2000 be?

PM does not condone the illegal distribution of digital media. However, Matt might outside of PM and that's between you, him, and his morals. (Not your morals Warren because you don't have any. Haha .)

[Village_Ideot]

Yeah, thats gonna happen...

[Warren]

I know I don't have any morals Most of the games I have are completely illegal. The only one that I'm going to buy, ohh how do you say it..., oh! LEGALLY, will be Return To Castle Wolfenstein, because I love Wolfenstein, and I have to have the original. I still do have legal games, ones that I bought in the store the day it came out (yes, I'm the one that sleeps in front of the store when a game I really really really want comes out; the last game I did that for was Need For Speed V: Porsche Unleashed, which I very highly recommend).

[Village_Ideot]

whooo hooo hoo, you slept outside the store for NFS 5??!!  whoo hoo.  Hey, Warren i want mushroomhead really bad, please i don't want to have to buy it.  Could you please rip it and somehow tell me how i could get it from you?  Please, i'll do (almost) anyhing

[Matt Keys]

Village, before you go on emailing me, you(or anyone else) have a 0.0% chance of getting a serial from me, so save your energy;)<br><br>Wanna hear the weird thing about how they sent me the game though, they sent it with about 20,000 different serial numbers..I just needed one:)

[Warren]

Village Ideot, I'm sending you the Mushroomhead songs as I speak (or as I type). Remember as in the message says, DO NOT reply to the e-mail account that I'm using to send it.

[Warren]

Ok Ideot, they are sent, now let us make a deal... though I sent you these 6 best Mushroomhead songs (there's 7 I sent you, one of them is a shortened version of another, incase you need to save space on your PPC), how's 'bout you somehow get SimCity 2000 PPC for me?

[Matt Keys]

Warren, you know much better than asking for warez in public on PM! have you ever seen one of those "PM does not support warez in any way..." messages!?

[Warren]

But, but, but, but, but (continues to studder with a lot of "buts" ), but, that's the legal and not as financially good way...

[Warren]

Lol, Village Ideot, "but that's the legal and not as financially good way..." would be a good signature for you to make fun of me

Great review, Moose! One note, in the 5th sentence, the contraction "it's" should be the possessive form "its".<br>I noticed you report an issue with Gigabar. If they would have just taken the time to look at the PQ source they could have seen my solution to that problem in the WM_ACTIVATE handler:<br>[fixed]<br>HWND wnd=FindWindow(_T("GigaBar" ), NULL);<br>if (wnd) ShowWindow(wnd, SW_HIDE);[/fixed]<br><br>Also, not allowing the user to switch to other applications is not cool at all, especially for games that fall into the non-action, strategy genre. Maybe they'll fix that as well.<br><br>Dan East

[Jaybot]

Good review Moose, I'm impressed. <br><br> What is 12 key MIDI though?
