I only had bulldozing sound on my 630 with 1.3 as well, i figured it was a system specific bug. Now i'm wondering if its the only sound they put in.
The thing that irritates me the most when playing this on an actual SE is that total absence of sound. Except for bulldozing there is absolute silence. Other than that, amazing game considering it came out in 1989.
... and picture with the "Sydney Opera House" on the box front cover
The other image also seems to say "MAC INTOSH" (with a space!).
Slowly re-introducing some titles.
Wait didn't ea file dcma requests for their games here?
LOL ! Ah, french publishers (i.e. Infogrames here) on the past years...
