I had Sim City, the incredible machine, and a jungle spelling thingy program; I can't think of the name but that's when I first learned to spell 'practice'. I had the same computer back in the day. I played Sim City faithfully. I had ME instead of WIndows 95 as the setup though.

I also had a floppy drive for it (truly floppy, the 5" black discs), and a joystick. I still have it & the last I knew, it still worked. I had 3 cartidge games for it, and one disc game. Malcolm mortar (unique game & very fun. I'd love to find some remake of it, but even rom dumps are impossible to find), shanghai (mahjong), thexder, and rogue. The 80s was a great time for computing, you could get all kinds of free programs out of computer magazines. The only catch was that you had to type them in by hand.
