SimCity goes open source as "Micropolis"
I hope this helps the LinCity and LinCity-NG folks out. I've always enjoyed SimCity, but the OSS implementations of it were always somewhat lacking ...

SimCity goes open source as "Micropolis"
I hope this helps the LinCity and LinCity-NG folks out. I've always enjoyed SimCity, but the OSS implementations of it were always somewhat lacking in my opinion. Kudos to Will Wright for following Id Software's example.Registered Linux user #270181

It sure didn't take long for someone to come up with a compiling tutorial.

A few simple modifications to the tutorial will get it installed on Gentoo.

I've found a few user-created DEB files around the internet as well. It won't take long before this is in a repository somewhere, I think.

This is cool to see another classic game go the way of the GPL.
