If I go to a site that has currently copyrighted games and download one via bittorent, I am participating in piracy. You might think that it is, and might even be able to make a compelling argument for that, but I do not think it is. There are many legitimate uses for bittorrent:, it isn't just for downloading illegal anime and games.Įven if it were, would merely telling someone how the set up their computer be "encouraging" it. Like I said, there are people just not interested in doing so, either for ethical reasons or they just are not gamers (or anime-watchers) in the first place.
Simcity 2000 online free how to#
If I give detailed instructions on how to set up your computer for bittorrent, such as installing whatever software, doing this, that, and the other, am I encouraging it.
While many people just aren't gamers and have no interest in downloading games, legal or illegal, they are aware that it can be done, so I am not telling anyone anything they don't alredady know. If, for example, I make the statement that it is possible to use bittorrent (or some other method) to illegally download games or anime, am I encouraging piracy? I don't think so.

In the guidelines for this site, one of them is:ĭ) Anything relating to the pirating, or copying, of any software game title. I think this brings up a much more important issue anyway. I looked on amazon and ebay, and could not find any copies of it for a price that I am willing to pay, so unless I either find it online like SC2000, or find the disc I already own, that is a game I just will not be playing in the near future.Īs for the next game in the series, SC5, SC2013, or whatever it is called, I have not played it, so I cannot say from personal experience, but I have heard that it is actually a "worse" game than SC4K.Īs long as the copyright is identified the DOS version is 'okay' under the general interpretation of 'Abandonware' as DOS is no longer distributed I also used to have a disc for SC3000, and I probably still do, somewhere, but I just can't find it. I also think you can play, or at least used to be able to play the original game on EA's (or Maxis, or whoever owns them now) site. Except for my 10-20 minute nostalgia fix, I haven't played SC2000 in years, and don't think I ever played the original, so I can't say which one it is more like. I also found another on-line game that was like SimCity, but I don't remember where.

It has better graphics, it can be expanded with mods from STEX, SC4devotion, and probably lots of other places, the maps are more "customizable" (I think), etc. Although I found it kinda interesting, I got the nostalgia out of my system in about 10 or 20 minutes.Īlthough SC2000 is sort of fun, SC4K is a better game in just about every measurable sense. For nostalgia's sake, I played it for a little while. The other day (well actually longer than that, I think it was actually several weeks to several months ago), I was faffing about and found a site called "" (or something like that), and one of the programs on it was an online version of SimCity 2000.
