OpenSC2K - An Open Source remake of SimCity 2000 written in JavaScript, using WebGL Canvas and Phaser 3.
Currently a lot remains to be implemented but the basic framework is there for importing and viewing cities. Lots of stuff remains completely unimplemented such as the actual simulation, rendering of many special case tiles and buildings and anything else that exists outside of importing and viewing.
Along with implementing the original functionality and features, I plan to add additional capabilities beyond the original such as larger city/map sizes, additional network types, adding buildings beyond the initial tileset limitations, action/history tracking along with replays and more.
I've only tested using Chrome 64 on macOS, but it should run fairly well on any modern browser/platform that supports WebGL. Performance should be acceptable but there is still a LOT of room for optimizations and improvements.
Update: Due to a takedown request from Electronic Arts, I've had to remove the game assets (tilesets primarily) included with this repository. I've got a mostly working asset extraction process, but it's been a few months since I last worked on it. It's only been tested with SimCity 2000 Special Edition for Windows.
You can use yarn (recommended) or npm to install and run. Once installed and started, open a browser to http://localhost:3000 to start the game.

By default, a city included in the /assets/cities/ folder will load. Open the debug controls (top right) and select City -> Open City to select a valid SimCity 2000 .sc2 save file to import. The City -> Save City option will export the currently active city as a compressed JSON data file. The ability to re-import these files has yet to be implemented.
