Hubbard" <jkh@freefall.cdrom.com> Subject: Demo version of SimCity Classic now available for FreeBSD 2.x. Approved: jkh@freefall.cdrom.com, peter@taronga.com Sender: peter@bonkers.taronga.com (Peter da Silva) Organization: FreeBSD Message-ID: <D7IpvL.EH5@bonkers.taronga.com> Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 10:10:57 GMT Lines: 42 The award winning computer game SimCity is an animated simulation game, providing a set of rules and tools for planning and building a complex dynamic simulated city. The player can zone land use, hook up the power grid, build roads, bridges, parks and stadiums, raise taxes, and even summon disasters, causing the city to grow and thrive or crumble and die. SimCity features multiple city views and maps with overlays for graphically displaying your own city or one of the existing cities in the library included. With the multi-player version of SimCity Classic players can simultaneously interact on screen, having to vote on many of the more critical decisions. SimCity Classic for FreeBSD is available for $49.95 for the single player version and $69.95 for the multi-player player version directly from M&W Consulting, Ltd., (713) 627-9229, FAX (713) 626-7566 or Email ronniew252@aol.com. You may also download a fully functional free demo of SimCity via FTP on the internet at ftp.dfw.net (198.175.15.10) in the "pub/SimCity" directory, using the filename "scl_bsd_3.6b.tar.Z", or as the FreeBSD package "SimCity-3.6b.tgz" from the central FreeBSD commercial products repository: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/commercial/ Note: In the interim, while ftp.freebsd.org is being upgraded, you may also get it from the directory: ftp://freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-950412-SNAP/commercial/ As both a tarball and a package. Have fun! Many thanks to the kind folks at M&W Consulting for bringing the first commercial game to FreeBSD! I've already purchased two copies for myself.. :-) Jordan
