A lot of old games have become unplayable on modern hardware and operating systems. I wrote an article about how making games open source will keep them playable far into the future.

I also discuss how making games open source could be beneficial to developers and companies.

Feedback and constructive criticism are most welcome, and in keeping with the open source spirit, I will give you credit if I make any edits based on your feedback.

SimCity 2000 isn't on ProtonDB because they only list Steam games. It's on Lutris though with multiple automatic install scripts for different versions, so it should be fairly easy to get running.

In general I've had way less trouble getting ancient Windows games to run on modern Linux than on modern Windows.

Hell, Lutris can even set up the original 1989 Sim City for you. Seeing that game on modern display sizes and resolutions is quite something
