Well, I did it. Last night I picked up Sim City 2000. (I also got Yoshi's Island for GBA for my brother for Christmas; his mother got him a GBA to play it on. I think he'll like it)

I must be a glutton for punishment. Well, actually, I do hope I will like it (whenever I get a chance to sit down with it), though I'm keenly aware of the possibility that I won't. I only tested it for a few minutes: I ran through a part of the manual called "Mayor's Boot Camp", where they tell you some simple things to do and you follow along in the game itself. After doing that for a while, though, I eventually got the game in some configuration where I couldn't scroll the screen, or do anything else for that matter. I turned the game off rather than trying to figure out what went wrong.
