SimCity is one of the oldest and grandest of Maxis games. A Linux port by Don Hopkins has been released under a free license for distribution on the XO.

The current XO activity bundle is here : SimCity-1.xo. This came from the original SimCity, through a complex lineage.


Don breaks it down like so:

I ported the Mac version of SimCity to SunOS Unix running the NeWS window system about 15 years ago, writing the user interface in PostScript. And a year or so later I ported it to various versions of Unix running X-Windows, using the TCL/Tk scripting language and gui toolkit. Several years later when Linux became viable, it was fairly straightforward to port that code to Linux, and then to port that to the OLPC.
