This game has a special place in my heart, as I remember buying it as a young lad and being absolutely in love with it. In 2009, the original developer released the source code and it is still updated.
In the latest update:
- Added support for 7kfans.com match-making.
- Added LAN game browsing support.
- Added Mobilize Worker button on firms. (sraboy/Microvirus)
- Improvements to mouse acceleration.
- Fixes to mouse movement in fullscreen mode.
- Fixed a bug with 64-bit multiplayer matches.
- Begun translation work. (toaster)
- Fix character encoding with accented characters. (MicroVirus)
- Bugfixes…
I compiled the latest version and tested it and it still works beautifully. It's so amazing to see old games like this still worked on. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

This is grand news. I too bought the game in the 80s (!) and will say that it's worth buying on GOG so you can get the manual.

Developers: If you've got a game that just doesn't sell anymore, open-sourcing it is the only way to go. There's no downside.

The 80's? Isn't the game from 97? Remember playing it as a demo I got on a PC-gamer CD.

While I agree, one potential downside is that people may make your old title so awesome everyone will want to play it and not your newly released shiny product.
