Yeah this, although it seems to have slowed down I development. Last time I checked, scrolling was really laggy on Linux, and the according bug report was quite old. Man I wish I had more free time to dig into stuff like that.

I can confirm that this will play game files as they were from the 1998 or so "total heaven" triple pack of settlers 2, sim city 2000, and civilization 2.

As an aside: what an incredible era.

Yes I was playing sim city 2000 the other day. What surprised me the most is how it’s so focused on simply letting you create the different systems and letting them interact. Like it’s almost not a game as much as it is a simulation that lets you participate in decision making.
