SimCity original becomes free software

SimCityThe One Laptop per Child project will soon release a free software version of the classic SimCity game. The company agreed to publish the code under a GPL-license. It'll however contain a clause that modified versions are not allowed to be named SimCity, else it's completely free software.

I think that's great news and would welcome it if more classic games could be freed. Computer games are their own form of culture and we need more projects to protect this kind of culture.

Game and Watch collection

Thursday, November 1. 2007, 14:09
I have a small collection of classic Nintendo Game and Watch devices, I once promised to put images online. I may add further old videogaming stuff I have.

Here they are, not much, but at least from all generations. Especially the wrist watches from end 80s / beginning 90s are quite rare. If you see some devices somewhere and wanna donate something to me, that'd be a very good idea :-)

Wikipedia page about Gamen and Watch is quite good, if you're looking for more info.
