Developer shows off low-poly SimCity 2000 clone built with AI

Original: Show HN: A modern low-poly SimCity 2000 clone, built by Opus 5.5

A developer has released a modern low-poly remake of the classic city-building game SimCity 2000, saying it was built largely using Anthropic's Opus 5.5 AI model. The project, shared as a playable browser demo, is drawing attention for what it suggests about AI-assisted game development and nostalgia for the 1993 classic.

Why now: People are discussing it because an AI model built a working clone of a beloved classic game, highlighting how far AI coding tools have come.
