+Micropolis is a simulation game based on the original source code of
+SimCity, donated to the One Laptop Per Child project by Electronic
+Arts under the GPL v3.  Micropolis is developed by Don Hopkins, one of
+the game's original authors.
+
+NOTES:  This SlackBuild is for a git snapshot dated 2008-02-22 obtained
+from: http://git.zerfleddert.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/micropolis which is
+a community-maintained version with several important patches and
+bugfixes.
+
+Additionally, please note that the first startup screen may be too
+large for monitors with a lower resolution.  Unfortunately, this is a
+bug that has not been fixed yet.  However, by using ALT-left mouse
+button, one can move the startup screen around enough to see
+everything.  Once the game starts, the resolution should scale down
+correctly to fit within your monitor.
+
+Finally, the original source for the OLPC version of this game removed
+the airplane crash disaster.  This has been added back in to the
+community-maintained version from which this package is built, and
+this SlackBuild enables it by default.  If you wish to disable the
+airplane crash disaster, please see the SlackBuild, as there is a line
+that can be commented out to disable it.
