NAME

       lincity-ng - City simulator game with polished graphics

SYNOPSIS

       lincity-ng [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the usage of lincity-ng

       lincity-ng  is  a  City Simulation Game. It is a polished and improved version of the old LinCity game: You are required to build and main-
       tain a city. You must feed, house, provide jobs and goods for your residents. You can build a sustainable economy with the help	of  renew-
       able energy and recycling, or you can go for broke and build rockets to escape from a pollution ridden and resource starved planet, it's up
       to you. Due to the finite resources available in any one place, this is not a game that you can leave for long periods of time.

       This game is similar to the commercial simulation game with a similar name.
