Popped into town this morning on my Motor-bike to buy some new batteries for my various Wall Clocks, and in the process found I had left my leather Motor-bike gloves in one of the shops when I returned to my Bike.... ...!
"Sod it!", I thought, I'll just have to buy some new gloves!... ...!
Having got back home. I thought about how lovely those gloves were, 'cos they fitted me like a glove, and how much I miss them....
So I popped back into town again in the afternoon, trawled around the various shops I had visited....
...and low and behold, when I enquired, one of the shop assistants gave me a big smile, and said..."HERE!"... ...!
I was so delighted, that on my was back to my Bike, I popped into the local Game Shop and treated myself to a brand-new copy of "Sim City 4 Deluxe"...(and almost left my gloves behind again!).
..anyway...when I tried to install it, after entering the Serial Code on the back of the Manual, it said; "code not recognised"...
Tried umpteen times without success, so I checked the problem on the various internet Forums and it seems that everyone and his dog are having exactly the same problem, going back for many years!
I think I have just thrown £5 down the Toilet!
Anyone here had similar problems with entering the correct Sim City 4 serial code, and finding it "not accepted!"?... ...!
...and I have just bought a cement mixer in readiness for building Sim City 4!...Buggar!... ...!
Still...at least I got my comfy gloves back, so all is not lost... ...!
Paul.... ...!

Reading about all the various problems with the recent Sim City versions, anyone recommend getting one of the older/better/more reliable versions of the Sim City game?
