Debian Jr. Simulation Games

Simulation games tend to be rather complex, so they are recommended for older children, and even then some help from someone older may be needed.

Necesita construir y mantener una ciudad. Debe alimentar, proporcionar vivienda, trabajo y bienes a sus residentes. Puede construir una economía sostenible con la ayuda de las energías renovables y del reciclaje, o puedes exprimir los recursos y construir cohetes para escapar de un planeta dominado por la contaminación y la hambruna, no es un juego que puedas dejar durante largos periodos de tiempo. Este juego es parecido al juego de simulación con un nombre parecido

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 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.
