Seeing this thread made me want to play sims, so I spent my friday night working out how to get sims 1 to play on my macbook pro. Finally got it working, and it was like I'd never stopped playing. Funny how you can remember things like that from 20 years ago but I can't remember half of what I did yesterday.
I played Sims 1, theme hospital and theme park when I was kid. They were all pirated from some guy my dad worked with lol (as was our copy of windows and our microsoft word), and theme park used to crash constantly because of it hahaha.
