MicropolisJS: A JavaScript clone of the original SimCity

Oh this brought back memories. I remember playing Sim Ant on my Macintosh Classic for hours on end. The same look and feel. Just that I had a b/w screen.

What a great way to have a throwback Monday.

Most things like this say a vague "invalid browser" or try to let you play even though it's impossible. I like this approach better.

Sim Ant was the first game I bought with my own money, back in the day, as my start to collect ALL the Maxis games after getting my hands on SimCity + SimEarth. This was an excellent thing to wake up to.
