The initial port happened some time last year but it was quite buggy and not fully playable. This release fixes all major bugs. Most importantly however it wraps around the original Unix SimCity C code from DUX instead of re-implementing it. Only the Win32 / GDI, dialogs, etc is custom Windows code.

Rlease 0.6 binaries: https://github.com/tenox7/wintown/releases/tag/0.6

Supports Alpha AXP, MIPS, PowerPC, Itanium (IA64) and ARM. Currently targets NT 4.0 and above, but work is being made to make it run on NT 3.1.
