\fBlincity-ng\fP is a  City Simulation Game. It is a polished and improved
version of the old LinCity game:
You are required to build and maintain a city. You must feed, house,
provide jobs and goods for your residents. You can build a sustainable
economy with the help of renewable 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.

.SH UPGRADE from 1.x to 2.x
A new format for saved games is used since 2.0, but old games can be imported and automagically converted. Just copy $HOME/.lincity/*   (old location for lincity and lincity-ng 1.x) to $HOME/.lincity-ng/ (new location since 2.0).

   cp \-a ~/.lincity/* ~/.lincity\-ng/

At the start of the game, one message will popup to remind you have some changes to do in your city.
