No not unless it is a very powerfull pc then you may need to.

first of all, i must say thanks for everybody here, still supporting this old game's topic, this is a REALLY fantastic game. Love it! i had been looking around for some forum/post about this game, i can't find anything most of the time and at last i find this place today :w00t: nice to meet everybody who play this game here

i had spend my last couple of months on this game, have a few comments and questions about this game :

- the biggest problem / bug is , researchable engine is limited to v6 50HP, i think a few other post had mentioned about this already before. Did anyone tried the german version and was able to research more power engines? if yes, is there anywhere to download the german verion now? many many thanks for that

- financially .... i think it is ok to create a LOT of money by creating different model and mass produce new car with new body and old engine. But somehow when the game think v6 50HP engine is too old and no one is going to buy them, nothing sell afterwards ...

- did this game sells good when it released before? I mean in term of the content of the game, player can research, create, drive, manage, race and also with nice old car pictures. It's a nice piece of things to sell but the company haven't create a new version of it. I played the online one, which is ok but it's totally different to this one (in fact i play the motorcity online before i know there is a dos version of it). sometimes i feel like old games are more "playable" in terms of contents inside the game, and computer games nowadays focus only on graphics most of the time ...

talk to you guys shortly.

Hi, i have some questions...

v6 50hp? i never get to this.. when im over the 25hp engines its too boring to try to get the perfect mach between "model/cilinders/hp", i did it with the 25hp engine until 1924.. then.. the game says im in the hall of fame or something similar, a small video and game over !!! where are the "moder times" ?!?!??!

i get to over 100.000.000 in 1918/19, then there is no way to sell a single car... doesnt matter wich engine/chasis/body you get.. on 1922 i did it to get orders for a $500 car (lot under his price of 1200 to manufacture it) i fired every worker to try to get to the 50' with money to build "something" but the game stops on 1924..

is it ok?

I wonder since my early childhood (my brother gave it (in German) to me when I was 8 and I played it for hours on my good ole 486DX, but never got too far (the best I ever had was I think 1905, after that I went bankrupt because my production halls where too far away from the halls with the parts in them (I didn't even know that that plays a role) and suddenly wheren't supplied any more) what the subtitle means... in German, it reads "Erlebte Geschichte Teil II", so I wonder if there ever was a first part of the series.
PS:I'm from Germany, sorry for bad English

A bit late, but I can answer this one; seems that Max Design had a historical educational series. Part I was: 1869: Erlebte Geschichte Teil I

Bought Motor City new in 1995 for my 486DX-4 100. Always hated codes in old games (for which you always needed the manual), so I prefer cracked abandonware

Anyway, started playing again. Nice to play during the Holidays :cool:

^^^^whoops, that was me...

I'm experiencing some problems with it already...

It doesn't work.

Whenever I click on the icon I do believe is the actual game icon nothing happens. does it have anything to do with my OS or something? I use XP.

You will need to get dosbox to run the game in Windows XP. Goto Abandonia's home page and goto the utilitys section it should be there.
