This was without embezzling funds but still using the easy game. I used all RR - got tired of "skywatch 1 reporting heavy traffic"! Funny thing I noticed my fire dept. seemed to attract airplane crashes - Every one had burn out area's either right by them or on them. I certainly wouldn't live in a city that has that many air disasters! A newletter I got from Maxis mentioned an update from 1.0 but nothing about what improvments/fixes were made. There is also a terrain editor for around $20. I like the idea of the newsletter sent after registration - feedback. By the way FFL - Dungeon Master also had an offer of a newsletter on their registration but I've NEVER heard a thing. Anyone else? Sure would be nice for a DM_II. Guess I could try and run the game with only one player and nude... (the player not me... though it is summer... and hot around here...)
