SIMCITY WAS RELEASED AS FREEWARE
I actually emailed EA (who bought Maxis) several weeks ago and asked them if they had released the original Simcity (aka Simcity Classic) as freeware, and therefore if its okay to distribute it on my site. The rep who replied told me no, that none of the Sim products including Simcity Classic have been released as freeware and that EA does not allow people to distribute them on the web. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/sad.gif)
The fact that the have an online version available for free play on their website doesn't necessarily mean that sites have the right to copy and distribute the old DOS version of the game.

Yea I did notice yesterday, there's a thread about it somewhere on these boards ... I downloaded BASS and SCUMMVM but haven't tried it out yet. Anyways whenever I do another update (may not be until late this month unfortunately) I'll see about adding one or both of those ...

I bought the game (with several others in a varity pack) from staples. In their old games section.
But this was a few months back...
