Sim City Live Online playable in your browser for free

Electronic Arts is letting you play Sim City Classic for free as an online application called Sim City Live Online! The original game has been retooled for internet functionality, so all you need to play is your browser. It only seems to work in the Internet Explorer web browsers (and not all except for Netscape Navigator as EA originally stated).

The simulation game is based off the PC version and all you need to do to play is login at EA’s Sim City Classic website. They’ve also put up a play guide and instructions manual.

1UP muses this is a marketing gimmick designed to promote Sim City 4, but it’s free so who cares?

So apparently “all web browsers except for Netscape Navigator” should be read as “only Internet Explorer, and only on Windows”

That was EA’s unfortunate wording of “all webbrowsers”, I’ll correct the article. I think we can all agree this is EA’s fault for releasing a rushed browser port
