Obviously, you’ll be fighting plenty of monsters but there’s more to the game than just that as it contains dozens of different people to speak to and the story is non-linear so you won’t get bored so easily. In this game, you have to travel between 9 islands, all with different stories to listen and adventures to play through. If you’re a fan of older SimCity games, you can always check SimCity Classic which is another fun game that runs well on the PlayStation Vita through Basilisk II! 2) Burning Monkey Solitaire 2ĭo you enjoy wacky games, monkeys and cards? If so, then Burning Monkey Solitaire is an excellent candidate for your time! This game does card games with a twist in which the actual gameplay mechanisms are faithful to the original games but the experience is made much more fun thanks to the cheeky monkeys that are present all over the game. Other than that, you can also dive into numerous scenarios in which you have to do your best to solve a specific problem before it gets out of hand. SimCity 2000 is a pretty fun game because it lets you be the mayor of a city that you build from the ground-up in which you can manage everything from education, to the water supply and even lets you unleash acts of god ( or acts of Godzilla if you fancy that) on your city. The PSVita didn’t get any native city building/management games that are serious so why not play one in an emulator? The best candidate for this type of game is SimCity 2000, a game by Maxis that’s considered to be one of the most successful games of the 90s having sold 1.4 million copies between 1993-1999. You’ll also find means to add MT-32 ROMs to get the music of certain games working.SimCity 2000 in your hands (with touch controls)! From here you can change where Boxer stores your games, what Boxer does when it first opens, and configure a few display settings.įour main choices let you choose between smoothing out graphics or adding scanlines, which can imitate the look of a vintage computer monitor.

The hard part is done! Now you can enjoy your game.Ĭonfiguring Boxer to Make Things Just Right If the game is running without issue, click “Launch Every Time.” Once you do that, you will be asked whether you want this application to run automatically next time. In this case, “sc2000.exe” is what we’re looking for. You can click the executable for the game from the choices in the bottom of the screen. The first time you launch the game, you’ll be presented with a DOS-based command prompt.
Go ahead and launch the game you just installed. You can browse your games in the Finder: they’re in a folder called “DOS Games”, which is in your home folder. Now you can give a name for the game, and even an image. I recommend you find a box cover for your game using Google Image Search, then drag the image over to Boxer. Click “Finish Importing” if you think the process is done. When the installation process is complete, you’ll be asked whether the installer ran properly or needs to run again. The installation will run just as you remember it running back in the 90s.
