Does anyone know how one can actually play SimCity (the original) these days?
Micropolis is the open sourced version of the original engine built by Will Wright. Here’s the JS port that I used for this game: https://www.graememcc.co.uk/micropolisJS/

Archive.org as the other user pointed out, but it's also on infinitemac.org if you prefer the Mac OS version.
