Firaxis' Sim title "later this year", and civ3???

[joseph1944]

Maxis has produced SimEarth, SimLife, SimFarm, SimAnt, SimCity I/II/III/Unlimited, SimCopter, SimTower, I think A-Train, The Sims, SimSafari, SimGolf plus I believe two more, but I cannot remember the titles. So now the big question is where does Sid fit in with the above title. And btw the 2-Sim Coaster games are from EA and not Maxis. Micro Prose made gunship while Sid was there, SimLife is about animals and what game did Sid just put on the shelf?

It would be really cool if the proposed game turns out to really be an update of the classic COLONIZATION, which has needed a sequel almost as much as MoM.

in other news, I hope that if an unnanounced title can ship "later this year", that means that civ3 is on for later this year, too.

guess what I want for christmas????

You missed SimTown and SimIsle

Good point, Joseph1944. Sim-Dino is a good candidate for the unnamed game.

Vgriph thank you. I had both at one time but gave Simtown to my grandson and SimIsle I cannot remember who I gave it to.
Colonization is really a Brian Reynolds game with Sid name on it. Even Sid himself has said that many times in interviews.

Well, I doubt it will be a rehash of a game we've seen before. It sounds like it will be a `sim' title and Maxis will be the ones selling it, not Firaxis (at least because the news is on /their/ site). I'm betting it's a brand new idea, but we'll see...

My guess is that Sid has just been consulting or helping out on it or something, not actually making it himself.

Hehehe. I suppose they could release CivIII in two boxes. One for us which says Civilization III, and one titled SimNation. They'd sell twice as many!
