Remarks 2. Commodity List 3. Commodity-less Cities 4. Formalities ----------- REMARKS ----------- I originally played this game in grade school. My sister recently had a baby boy, and she bombards him with an educational ambiance. I thought that when he was able to read he could play this game and enjoy it. I decided to play it myself just "to relive the memories." I found that I had to guess in which city each commodity was. Moreover, some commodities were not where I expected them to be. I remembered that we had a list to use in grade school to figure that out. Because I could not find one on the Internet, I decided to make one up and submit it for others who have the same problem. I used a hex editor to uncover the names of the 52 commodities and then went through each city to find out where each commodity was. This FAQ is the result of that pursuit. ------------------ COMMODITY LIST ------------------ Aircraft Parts -------------- San Diego, CA Seattle, WA Dallas, TX Hartford, CT Apples ------ Spokane, WA Grand Rapids, MI Rochester, NY Beef ---- Omaha, NE Dallas, TX San Antonio, TX Beer ---- Milwaukee, WI Books ----- New York City, NY Cameras ------- Rochester, NY Binghamton, NY Cars ---- Detroit, MI Toledo, OH Cincinnati, OH Indianapolis, IN Chemicals --------- Louisville, KY Wilmington, DE Newark, NJ Clothing -------- Los Angeles, CA New York City, NY Coal ---- Rock Springs, WY Sheridan, WY Charleston, WV Computers --------- San Francisco, CA Boston, MA Copper ------ Salt Lake City, UT Yuma, AZ Tucson, AZ Las Cruces, NM Corn ---- North Platte, NE Des Moines, IA Peoria, IL Cotton ------ Phoenix, AZ Amarillo, TX Jackson, MS Fertilizer ---------- Tampa, FL Furniture --------- Grand Rapids, MI Greensboro, NC Glass ----- Charleston, WV Philadelphia, PA Gold ---- Salt Lake City, UT Rapid City, SD Granite Augusta, GA Concord, NH Hogs ---- Davenport, IA Dubuque, IA Iron ---- Duluth, MN Jewelry ------- Providence, RI Lead ---- Coeur d’Alane, ID St. Louis, MO Leather ------- Manchester, NH Lumber ------ Eugene, OR Portland, OR Seattle, WA Maple Syrup ----------- Burlington, VT Marble ------ Knoxville, TN Montpelier, VT Milk ---- Minneapolis, MN Eau Claire, WI Madison, WI Molybdenum ---------- Phoenix, AZ Denver, CO Natural Gas ----------- Las Cruces, NM Oklahoma City, OK Shreveport, LA Oranges ------- Los Angeles, CA Tampa, FL Oil --- Houston, TX Shreveport, LA Paper ----- Eau Claire, WI Philadelphia, PA Bangor, ME Peanuts ------- Montgomery, AL Macon, GA Potatoes -------- Spokane, WA Pocatello, ID Bangor, ME Rice ---- Houston, TX Baton Rouge, LA Little Rock, AR Rubber ------ Chicago, IL Dayton, OH Salt ---- Baton Rouge, LA Binghamton, NY Seafood ------- San Diego, CA Boston, MA Sheep ----- Sacramento, CA Albuquerque, NM Flagstaff, AZ Silver ------ Coeur d’Alane, ID Reno, NV Tucson, AZ Soybeans -------- Jefferson City, MO Des Moines, IA Springfield, IL Steel ----- Birmingham, AL Gary, IN Cleveland, OH Baltimore, MD Pittsburgh, PA Sulfur ------ El Paso, TX New Orleans, LA Textiles -------- Atlanta, GA Greenville, SC Charlotte, NC Roanoke, VA Tobacco ------- Bowling Green, KY Greensboro, NC Raleigh, NC Richmond, VA Uranium ------- Albuquerque, NM Casper, WY Vegetables ---------- Sacramento, CA Madison, WI Miami, FL Wine ---- San Francisco, CA Wheat ----- Great Falls, MT Bismarck, ND Topeka, KS Wichita, KS Wool ---- Casper, WY Austin, TX Zinc ---- St. Louis, MO Nashville, TN Allentown, PA ------------------------- COMMODITY-LESS CITIES ------------------------- Alabama ------- Mobile Huntsville Tuscaloosa Alaska ------ You cannot travel here Arizona ------- All cities have at least one commodity Arkansas -------- Fort Smith Texarkana California ---------- All cities have at least one commodity Colorado -------- Colorado Springs Grand Juction Pueblo Connecticut ----------- Bridgeport New Haven Waterbury Delaware -------- Dover Florida ------- Fort Lauderdale Jacksonville Tallahassee Lake City Georgia ------- Savannah Hawaii ------ You cannot travel here Idaho ----- Boise Illinois -------- Bloomington Decatur Indiana ------- Evansville Terra Haute Fort Wayne Iowa ---- All cities have at least one commodity Kansas ------ Kansas City Kentucky -------- Lexington Frankfort Louisiana --------- Alexandria Maine ----- Augusta Portland Maryland -------- Annapolis Massachusetts ------------- Springfield New Bedford Michigan -------- Kalamazoo Lansing Flint Minnesota --------- Rochester Albert Lea Mississippi ----------- Vicksburg Meridian Biloxi Missouri -------- Springfield Kansas City Jasper Montana ------- Helena Missoula Butte Billings Nebraska -------- Lincoln Nevada ------ Las Vegas Carson City New Hampshire ------------- Portsmouth New Jersey ---------- Trenton Atlantic City New Mexico ---------- Santa Fe New York -------- Buffalo Syracuse Albany North Carolina -------------- Fayetteville North Dakota ------------ Fargo Grand Forks Ohio ---- Columbus Oklahoma -------- Tulsa Oregon ------ Salem Pendleton Pennsylvania ------------ Harrisburg Erie Scranton Rhode Island ------------ All cities have at least one commodity South Carolina -------------- Charleston Columbia South Dakota ------------ Souix Falls Pierre Tennessee --------- Memphis Chattenooga Texas ----- All cities have at least one commodity Utah ---- Ogden Provo Cedar City Vermont ------- All cities have at least one commodity Virginia -------- Norfolk Charlottesville Washington ---------- Olympia Bellingham *Washington DC has no commodities West Virginia ------------- Parkersburg Wisconsin --------- All cities have at least one commodity Wyoming ------- Cheyenne --------------- FORMALITIES --------------- Copyright 2006 - phillyirish This document was submitted to GameFAQS for use on their site.
