Simcity - SNES vs PC?

[Lictalon]

Maybe I was playing it wrong but: I didn't like the SNES version of SimCity (or SimEarth for that matter) because I thought I went _way_ too slow, whereas I could speed it up a lot more on the PC.

I assume the PC version doesn't have the bug where all your power is disabled for a while after loading your game.

I vaguely recall that, but it lasts so briefly as to be inconsequential.

I think the scenario feature was created in the SNES.

Not by any means! Scenarios have been there since the very beginning. The SNES version did a better job of keeping track of which ones you'd finished, though.

Anyway, I would have thought the ability to save multiple cities would have given the PC version a considerable edge. Some versions also let you load up alternative graphic sets, which is nice.

It's a pity nothing particularly awesome ever came of the Micropolis source code release.

There are multiple save slots for the SuperNes game as well.

Well, yes, but aren't there only two of them? On a PC, you could fill your entire hard drive.

I forget for sure, but I think there were three. More than enough for most purposes (At least from my experiences).

Edit: If a quick Google search can be believed (I'm too lazy to get up and confirm myself), it's two. So it's an advantage, but not much of a one. How often would anyone really need more than two slots?
