 Have SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition for Windows & Mac when will Linux version come, 2007-08-01
I am a Windows XP turned Mac OS X user interested in trying Linux sometime soon and was pleased to discover SimCity 3000 Unlimited available for Linux. I wonder what distribution of Linux is this available for specifically? Also where can I find SimCity 4 for the Linux platform? I am moving away from Windows and don't want to get to attached to the Mac for gaming -- still want to use my PC for gaming once in a while but don't want to get too dependent on the monopolistic software giant in Redmond. Apple in the long run it can be argued is just as bad -- at least they embrace some open source technologies but Mac OS X is still proprietary. The salvation of PC gamers should be Linux. I do not even use Microsoft XBox systems for the same reasons I am trying to move away from Windows gaming. I will not upgrade to Vista and am content with my existing PC running XP and my Mac Mini with OS X Tiger. However, I am happy to add a Linux installation as well.
Any ideas where I can get a newer version of SimCity for Linux?

 Sim DISASTER, 2001-12-09
This game was a real surprise to me...NOT. This game really stunk in my point of view. The graphics are blocky, and tornados rip through almost eery 2.5 seconds. Think about it this way, you build a magnificent, huge, great, titanic, supreme metropolis, only to have 6600 natural disasters to rip through in a week leaving your town in shambles. This game is a real disgrace to the PC. The modes are similar to each other so that, you can say the whole game copied itself 10 times over! the only interesting part of this nasty object is that the objects that you can create outrageous buildings and spaceships. All, in All, this game should be buried for life!

 Nice, 2001-08-13
It's about what I expected, having played every previous iteration of this software. It's addictively fun.Thank you, Loki, for porting it to Linux!
GREAT, 2000-08-24
Ive always loved The Original Simcity,and Simcity 2000. Simcity 3000 Unlimited is based on Simcity 2000's concept but with new (better looking) buildings,a few new disasters,and some new layers of simluation such as garbage,city trade,petitioners, and all that stuff. Great game thou!
