Is there a way to play SC2K on hi res? I went looking a few weeks ago and only found lengthy patch processes. I figured GOG would have it but they're still ship

  The original Windows release runs in windowed mode, so you should be able to make it as large as you want. I'm not sure if running it on a modern machine is a good idea, since it has issues with color depths over 256 colors, and the fastest simulation speed doesn't account for Moore's law. I last played SC2k on a retro PC (Win 98, Pentium 3). https://theandrewbailey.com/article/122/SimCity-2000 https://theandrewbailey.com/article/122/SimCity-2000

    Ah great, you found the lengthy patch process I spoke about. In Wine it is more complex and in the end did not work.

      My bad, when you said "lengthy" I assumed you meant something more complicated than "install this game normally and then run this single patch executable". And you never mentioned Wine.
