Home of the Underdogs is back!

Okay… I know, it’s been back for a while. But in case some people still haven’t found it, here. New layout’s pretty nice.

If you want to see the old layout, here’s a mirror. I don’t think you can download from it, though.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about — HOTU is an abandonware site. The webhost went bankrupt so it went offline for a month or so. But it was brought back online.

It’s actually SimCity Classic! The name was changed due to trademarking, but the game stays the same.

“Show Desktop” not working? How to fix it

If you install a Maxis game called SimTown, you may notice the “Show Desktop” icon turned into a SimTown Sound File. However, going into the file extension manager will not work. Here’s how to fix it.
Go into the registry editor (Start >> Run >> regedit). Then go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SHCmdFile\shell\open\command. SCF files should be associated with explorer.exe.

Next, go into the command Prompt, which is usually under Start > Programs > Accessories. (‘Start > Run’ won’t work for this!) Type in “assoc .scf=SHCmdFile” and it should restore it.

Good luck!

Download Railroad Tycoon for free!

Some of you may remember Railroad Tycoon — an old DOS game released in 1990, which launched the “tycoon” genre.

Well, you can download it for free. Simply go to the Sid Meier’s Railroads website, go under “Downloads,” and it’s in there.

It comes preloaded with DOSBox, so you don’t have to install anything extra.

Have fun!
