OLPC SimCity Demo

[12al34]

Now, give it colorful graphics that fit into line with sugar (little more detailed), and I won't feel sickened by the fact that EA could give a shit less about this classic game...

Otherwise, cool.

@12al34 Anymore detailed and XO laptop would crash.

[12al34]

@zc456 It isn't an 8088.

[zc456]

@12al34 That doesn't mean it'll run SimCity 4 like others seem to believe.

Since OLPC graphic and CPU not powerful enough to play simcity why u can play it on the OLPC

[hotsoup1442]

How can i downlaoad the GAME and not just the code, because i just want to play it, not modify it.

[mariovalspi]

think of all children in undeveloped countries who cannot watch porn, this is the panacea

[Petrel2]

I'm sure thatt its better than Sim shit societies...

[Patrrykus98]

Gide them some newer games though, like SimCity 4, but no America has to be some greedy mothafuckas. I want this game though, it looks cery cool and clean.

[rhontos]

Any of the newer sim cities probably would have a hard time running on this.

[bonchbonch]

Please stop being dumb. Thanks.

[noobslaver]

I want that game.

Is the OLPC able to print???

[LobsterSundew]

It has three USB ports so I see no real reason why someone couldn't use the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS), or one of its equivalents, and a USB, Linux compatible printer. Network printers might work.

Abiword (What "Write" is based off) on other systems is able to print documents and maybe that functionality is just not visible as a button right now. Write, If I remeber right, saves as in Rich Text Format (rtf).

[Dimension13XYZZY]

Of course not. Use a printer for that, duh!!!

[spiffytuxedostudios]

dimension, you are very unintelligent

[christian811815]

sweet

[tcolberg]

Giving the children in developing nations the change to play games like this is a huge achievement. Imagine how much children in those countries could learn about simple economics and urban development from just playing this. Positive change to those nations in the future could potentially be traced back to these computers.

[LessthanJake14]

Imagine what would come next. What if Doom gets ported.....lol.

[Dimension13XYZZY]

You can run Doom on it. The OLPC is just an ordinary PC, running linux.

[LessthanJake14]

Well yeah I know but I mean a fully-fledged version of Doom and give it to the little ones.

[Dimension13XYZZY]

People are already running doom on the OLPC. And on the iPod... and on... well, you get the point...

[noobslaver]

Give them some newer games though, like SimCity 4, but no America has to be some greedy mothafuckas. I want this game though, it looks very cool and clean.

[bonchbonch]

You're an idiot, plain and simple.

[avocade]

Best version of Sim City was the first. The XO is worth its weight just to play this app again :)

[LobsterSundew]

Now I am going to go have to try and find my old SimCity classic CD and try to WINE it for memory's sake. This port is looking good.

[glinux]

Thank every god you aren't really running a city.

[hempev]

Yeah, Gavin Newsome has nothing to fear!

[EnricCirne]

Ha!, easter egg.
