This is the adress of the Official-Page linked to the Loki-Port

Sim city isnt free and you should buy the linux version.
I didnt see any installer around here, so this loki release seems to be the only 
way to play this game on linux..

enjoy!

Comment 5 Florian Manschwetus 2005-08-28 06:51:51 UTC

so there is no way to make an ebuild which installs from cd like ut? or is ut an
extra installer?

Comment 6 charly 2005-08-28 08:03:53 UTC

I think the ebuild who install games from windows cds are based on the loki 
installers. Take a tour at http://www.liflg.org. Since loki has released a cd 
version for sim city 3000, they will certainly not provide a free installer for 
it...

I think I have a copy of this (I bought most of the Loki games)...  I'll look
into it, but an ebuild would definitely speed things up... ;]
