Yes, you read the title right. A man called Tytar, obviously a developer himself, recreated a part of the game and you can download and play it, maybe even develop it further.

I was going to say that it's a great nostalgia trip but. of course, it is not since the game was never released. However, you will recognize elements thar survived in The Sims games so the video is well worth watching, even if you don't intend to go any further.

I think I've seen him before. He doesn't necessarily make full recreated games, but cool little slices. Maybe someone else will pick up the slack.
