We’re doing a little bit with SourceForge in LIS 5433 right now, which led in a roundabout way over to HackNMod, (don’t ask!!), which led me to RemaininPlay, a collection of “obsolete” commercial games that have been turned into freeware by their copyright holders. Very cool! Now I can bring back happy memories of 1989 by playing Micropolis, (if I can scrounge up an appropriate platform, which is part of the reason why this is a “thinking about collections” post. Is this open source version of SimCity truer to the original than the current commercial versions? All kinds of preservation issues here. Let the sims begin!)
