There comes a time... when a man can no longer simply land. There comes a time when he must stand up.....and fight.

"Now Entering SimCity 2000."

The city-builder of the future in 1993. This was such a step up from what would now be called SimCity Classic, what with its gorgeous isometric graphics. The PSX version was the first one of 2000 I played, which had a 3D city exploration mode.

Anakin cat was in the ER on Friday night for a GI upset, doctor gave him some injections to help his tummy feel better. And it took a while but now he's eating better and back to being a menace

Life is a struggle right now. My home state is under attack. My cat is sick. I got my steam account verified, working on the game page for Tom Lander. Putting together night mode is nice. Hoping next week is more good news.

Haha, I ditched the pure software renderer a while back due to inconsistent fps on different architectures. It's mostly a hybrid approach with some fx being done in software on top of hardware/GPU renderer.
