LinCity

I'm not joining the list because this will be a one-time request.

I would like to request that the original LinCity game be added as an 
optional package.

Why?  Well, although the LinCity-NG game has nice graphics and 
animation, it only runs good on a newer, high-end machine but on my 
almost 7 year old 1 Ghz PIII machine *AND* my 3 year old laptop it is 
impossible to play due to its extremely sluggish graphics.  For those of 
us who will not be upgrading computer hardware anytime within the next 
half-of-a-decade or longer, this version of the game simply is not an 
option.  The original version of the game, LinCity, runs extremely 
better and does not have this nasty problem.

Sincerely,
Bradley Pursley

It is a good point but also it may be added that this void is filled
by the Micropolis* project and having two very similar games - not to
mention that the original Lin City is no longer actively developed -
may not be constructive.
