simcopter reboot?

[mizzou]

Yay or nay?

It holds a special place in my heart. I love the freedom and the cop assistance running down crims was epic

sim-copter was great...loved importing cities

 

[Scouzer]

Yes! Please! Import cities from Simcity 5... and towers from Simtower 2... HEAVEN

 

[Bateluer]

Yes! Please! Import cities from Simcity 5... and towers from Simtower 2... HEAVEN

There's no such thing as Simcity 5. May Societies rot in the deepest, darkest corner of a soviet landfill.

I want a revamped Sim Ant.

 

[Possessed Freak]

Yes! Please! Import cities from Simcity 5... and towers from Simtower 2... HEAVEN

Simtower... 2!? Where is this game, I must buy it.

Wasn't Simcopter the game that had some gay love at the ending that was programmed by a scorned developer?
