SimCity Enhanced CD-ROM, also known as SimCity Enhanced Cinematic Multimedia, is a remake of SimCity created by Maxis and released by Maxis and Interplay in 1993 for PC CD-ROM and Macintosh.
The game is not changed compared to the original (if we exclude the VGA graphics instead of EGA). Still, there are several cutscenes with movies recorded with real Hollywood actors, plus voices that will give you feedback and suggestions.
Reviews were not highly positive: many complained because the videos or audio were distracting. Anyway, it's a fun remake of a popular game.

The file you are downloading is a special package so that you can easily run this DOS game on Windows Vista, 7 and 10, without any additional effort. The archive includes the required emulator (DOSBox) and it's already configured. All you need to do is uncompress the ZIP or 7z file into your Games folder (e.g. C:\OldGames\), then open the folder of the Game, and double click the icon "Name of the Game" (it's a ".bat" file).
Files for Mac can be run on all versions of OS X. You need to uncompress the 7z archive using the proper software (please use Keka to avoid problems). If the archive contains a DMG, double click it to mount the disk. After that, drag & drop the game icon into Applications (or another folder, Desktop will be fine too). New versions of MacOS block applications from identified developers. If you have this problem, just press Ctrl while clicking the game icon, and select Open. Alternatively you can use the “Open Anyway” button in the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences. See the FAQ page for more info.
