Summary
Games-sim
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.
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Junior Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Junior which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Junior
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian Junior mailing list

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.
