Heres an excerpt from the News Source

This past holiday (I've been bugging him since November about it) my good friend Don Hopkins got a lot of work done on the finishing touches on releasing the original SimCity source code under the GNU General Public Library (GPL). The code won't have reference to any SimCity name as that has all be renamed to Micropolis. Micropolis was the original working title of the game and since EA requires that the GPL open source version not use the same name as SimCity (to protect their trademark) a little work had to be done to the code.

Download the Source Code Here, What is initially released under GPL is the Linux version based on TCL/Tk.

Any of the Homebrew Coders on Any Platforms at DCEmu interested in Porting Sim City to any Consoles ?

is the original simcity or the simcity 2000???
maybe the dciberia crew can do the work, they have a lot of experience in "fast" ports.

I looked at it awhile ago. Just stared at it for a few minutes and threw it in the recycling bin. There were tons of source files, and I wasn't about to figure it all out. I don't know if this game is "fun" enough for anyone to actually want to port it. It is the old-old version after all.
