I just tried SimEarth, and have found it to be much more work than I
really feel like putting into a game.  I am seriously considering
returning it.  I found the effects you have on the various life forms
to be interesting, but not fun.  The fact that you can leave the game
alone and have it solve itself makes it seem rather pointless to me.

Has anyone else had this dissappointing respose to the game?  BTW, I
really enjoyed SimCity, maybe because I understood all of the things
to which it was referring and saw the effects of my actions.
