I recently purchased SimCity from MacConnection for my Mac II. I told
them that I wanted it to run in color on my Mac II, and I wanted the
terrain editor. They told me that I wanted 'SimCity Supreme' and that
is what I ordered. Unfortunately when the order arrived, is was the
monochrome Simcity.  So I called them back and asked them about it and
they confirmed that I should have gotten the 'Supreme' version and
politely shipped it right out (and offered to pay postage on the
return of the other).  SimCity Supreme doeas run in color, it is not
copy protected, and it is very very very addicting! This game is so
much fun I have been playing it for several hours a day, and losing
sleep to fit it in! I strongly encourage you to put aside your current
frustration, order SimCity Supreme and start simulating away....it 
really is a very good program.
