LinCity-NG is an open source city-building game like SimCity for Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems, released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and is a fork of Lincity.
LinCity-NG uses SDL and OpenGL, and has isometric 3D graphics, similar to that in SimCity 3000. However, the gameplay is identical and the game is capable of reading Lincity saved games. LinCity-NG runs on Linux as its primary platform, with Windows, BeOS, and Unix systems also supported. Mac OS X, however, is only supported when compiled from source using GCC and run in X11. A Windows binary + gamefiles download of Lincity-NG is around 40 MB, compared to 800 KB for the original Lincity, mainly representing the more advanced graphics and sound.
