Hey all. If anyone knows about this, and I'm sure some people have, I just found out about this. Apparently the original SimCity was released as open source under the GPL in 2008. I loved the original SimCity, even if I was no good at it, but would love to have it on the go. It goes by the name Micropolis and the only way to distribute any copy of it the way you want is to not call it SimCity.

Anyway, the source code is hosted on Google Code and thought it would be great to have this classic game on our handhelds. Hope it can be done!
