If you want to play the old SimCity again, 'Micropolis' is what you are looking for.

The easiest way to play it seems to be this website [1] but some Linux distributions actually have packages for it.

Cities Skylines would be the best bet at a modern equivalent. They do still make SimCity games, but they're pretty far removed from the mechanics of the old game.

SC4 was the last good SC game (and has mods!). SC3k has the best music though.

Cities Skyline kinda lacks the humor of the original SimCity, unfortunately.

Also if you're looking for SimCity 2000, be careful because some places give you the DOS version without warning.

I love the inclusion of the SC utube playlist
