"The plane crash disaster has been removed as a result of 9/11."
I'll leave the silliness of that for somebody else to rant about, but I'd like to see someone recode it back in (even though they'd probably have to do a fork). I also think it'd also be pretty cool if somebody made a fork and added the gifts and graphics from the old Super Nintendo port of SimCity (my favorite version) to it.
When I was growing up, SimCity was definitely one of my favorite games, so it makes me happy to see it open-sourced. I just hope the code will be taken advantage of (tinkered with, polished up, ported to all sorts of operating systems, etc). I'd love to see SimCity 2000 open-sourced as well, but I won't hold my breath on that one.
