The Falcon upgrade, version 1.1, includes only the first disk.  The
new version can be installed on a hard disk and will run on machines
with 680[123]'s.  

The upgrade was about $10.00(US), but if you bought "Operation
Counterstrike," one of the mission disks, it was "free."  Total
cost for the two was $24.95(US).  I received my upgrade yesterday
and, as far as I can tell, it works fine.  (This is on an A1000
with a 68010 cpu)


Maxis has released their upgrade of SimCity.  Version 1.1 includes
fixes for the "400K CHIP RAM" problem and several minor bugs.

The SimCity terrain editor is now available.  It includes a 
random terrain generator with adjustable parameters.  There
are also a few cities on the disk (Washington DC, New York, 
NotSoDullsville, ...).  If anyone is interested in exchanging
cities, please send e-mail.
