One more video for
#MARCHintosh
while there's still some month left. I got these (via a friend) from a professor who had been keeping his Macintosh LC III with its original boxes which had even done some overseas travel with him. Time to look inside, recap, clean, and play.

FMV cheese, mm. I've covered SimCity before, but this odd 1994 Interplay release is one I haven't reviewed until now. The Enhanced CD-ROM with copious amounts of full motion video! It's both enjoyably silly and unfortunately frustrating.

I was originally going to call the video "Dye Another Day", but was concerned that people would say ACTUALLY the ribbon uses pigment, and then I'd have to explain that I was just trying to make a James Bond joke which would lead to a 20 minute conversation about George Lazenby.
