Oh nice! I would recommend to build this instead: https://virtuallyfun.com/2024/08/08/dux-simcity-unix-aka-micropolis-on-irix-6-5-and-aix-4-3/ it will be a lot more stable and will not have licensing issues.

I did manage to get this building and running on my very old red hat linux setup, it didn’t require a whole lot. Unfortunately its pretty crashy and of course the license limitation makes it basically unusable. Still cool to see it working!

I have no idea how hard it would be to do, but I’d love ports for NeXTstep or Amiga Unix 🙂

That’s the one which I use in my win10 console all time (the converted bitmap FON version ofc).

Well AIX is pretty understandable… Actually it would be a very weird treat if SimCity had an AIX version.

But NeXT doesn’t have a port? Seriously?!
Maybe Maxis or DUX had a grunt against Jobs and Apple, and that’s why they didn’t do a port to their platforms.
