Open the registry editor by pressing START in Windows and typing regedit in the search bar.
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options
Inside the Image File Execution Options registry key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named DevOverrideEnable
Edit the DevOverrideEnable DWORD (32-bit) Value and set the value to 1
Go to <path-to-game> and create a new file called TycoonCity.exe.local with a file extension of .local

Install dgVoodoo2

Download and extract dgVoodoo2 at <path-to-game>
Run dgVoodooCpl.exe as administrator. Click the ./ button underneath the banner.
Under the "General" tab, set "Scaling" to "Stretched".
Under the DirectX tab select a resolution to force, along with Anti-aliasing if desired.
Click "Apply" and "OK".

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/9730/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (9730) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
