It's been ages since I first covered this so it's high time for a revisit! Streets of SimCity was a flawed jankfest of a game, yet I've always had a fondness...

While it was extremely limited due to the tech at the time, I truly enjoyed this and SimCopter for the ability to drive/fly around your created cities. Would love to have seen some semblance of physics included. I just recall any cars you drove up/down hills just conformed to the terrain. Was still extremely fun.

Anyone know the easiest way to play these lately? On Linux?

Both can be played on modern Windows with Krimsky’s patches. They’d probably work in Wine, but I’ve never tested them.

Holy shit thank you. I spent so much time setting up a windows 9…5 or 98 vm just to play streets and copter again but it just crashed.
