Download LinCity NG 2.0

In 1989 Will Wright established a new genre in the game world with his SimCity, in which the player has to deal with urban development in a virtual environment. The game LinCity falls in the same genre and was originally developed for the Linux platform, which is reflected in the name of the game. Since the development of LinCity has been standing still for quite some time, a group of developers has united in the LinCity NG project. The addition NG stands for New Graphics and the developers have mainly worked on 3d graphics and an improved gui. The goal of the game is of course still the same: to build a city and grow it into a global city. For example, you have to provide the inhabitants with food, houses, jobs and goods, and make choices between green and polluting industry. The developers have released LinCity NG 2.0 with the following announcement:
