Well, those graphics sure are ugly. But thats nothing. You should have seen the Commodore 64 version. It looked like a 5 year old kid drawing stick figures. Now that was ugly.

Clearly, the above was meant to be in the other Sim City post. My brain shut down simply from looking at screenshots.

I am physically unable to play any game which has 20+ ugly grey/brown icons as part of it’s main interface.

Less than 20 is okay:
Sim City had about 14, fine
Populous II had 17, risky but okay
Sim City 2000 had about thirty.

My mental defence mechanism quickly took hold and shutdown any desire to play it, lest I hurt myself trying.

@Optimaxial:

Um, Intel were never *in* the OLPC project. It has an AMD CPU.

Intel only joined the consortium so it could get inside information on contacts who it could then go to to try to convince them to cancel their XO order and buy their twice-as-expensive laptop instead of the OLPC one.

Thoroughly disreputable behaviour. And since Intel were offering OLPC very little in return, they had little choice but to part company.

I’m not sure how you got the impression that Intel’s departure was some massive problem, but I suspect it was from the BBC’s idiotic coverage.

Here’s a hint: never trust BBC News Online on any science or technology issue. They don’t understand it, and always screw it up embarrassingly.

I have an OLPC XO!

It’s currently being held hostage by Her Majesty until I pay her some so-called “taxes”. Tsk.

I shall report back once I get it and get Micropolis working.

It’s micropolis, not metropolis.

Hasn’t the OLPC project effectively stalled now Intel have bailed out of it?

Car accidents kill 40,000 people yearly in the US.

Metropolis still inexplicably has roads.

As a user of Internet™ I am deeply offended.

Hopefully we’ll get a proper DS version of simcity now :) Surely it’s only a matter of time until someone ports it as a homebrew app to the DS.
