A hopefully final trailer for this real-life simulator, aiming to truly show how the game plays

You know what time it is. It's #Maxis time!
Here's a beautiful release filled to the brim with manuals so thick they would make Tolkien blush.
Sadly the disks are 800K Mac formatted so I can't actually read them on my Macs as they are "too modern." I think it's ok if I fetch an image from the Garden in this case 😄️
This was apparently a limited edition, though I don't know how limited it was.

I just made my 154th contribution to archive.org! Scanned and uploaded the complete German SimLife manual for Amiga and MS-DOS from 1992. Featuring 244 pages, 300dpi quality.

Have fun!

I'm still busy scanning the 1992 SimLife user manual. Making some progress, but it's a rather slow process tonight. On the bright side: The pages are in pretty much mint condition, so I will be able to upload a gorgeous PDF version in the end.

In 1992 #Maxis released #SimLife for Mac and MS-DOS, later ported to Amiga and Windows 3.0. On their FTP site they also made available "SLSLIDE.EXE", a slide show program with screenshots of the game and commentary in dialog boxes. This was meant as a demo / preview for potential buyers so you could see what the game was like beforehand.
I ran the program in DOSBox and uploaded the output.
You can also get the base screenshots as .PCX files from the archive, and the slideshow program SLIDE.EXE is a generic tool for doing images + captions + timing. It reads a script in the folder and parses it as display commands. I've attached the script in the Youtube description as well.
