yes its much better than streets of simcity :) you sholud try. ypou can buy the new copter youare emergency, fire dept and police dept. in one :) its coll game:)

We are still not sure if this is abandonware or not...

i don't know so i asked you :) I think it propably is. Maybe it is like SIM CITY 2000 ?

SimCity is abandowere why SimCopter couldn't be ?

I haven't seen Simcopter on sale ever. Not even on budget or secondhand even.

I remember there was an incident involved with this game. One of the programmers had programmed himself into it so that his face appeared in the middle of the game or something.....

No, it was far, far worse than that. The programmer was a repressed homosexual and he programmed into the game gay men kissing while wearing tight swimming trunks. Big embarisment for Maxis when they found it. It was before copies of the game were in the shops but after they had been published and were ready for shipping that it was found. Needless to say, a lot of money was lost and a certain programmer lost his job.

doing a google search... only 8,600 links to search left.. and the one site that did have copter didn't work..

few hours and 100 google links later:
Nothing new to report. Just buy it here and demos demos DEMOS

It is still sold in shops here.

There is only one word to describe that (three actually)
