I don't know if you have already discussed this in this newsgroup (I
don't read this one) but if not...

You have undoubtedly seem SimEarth on I*M's and M*cs and yearned for a
version for the Amiga.  Well, a friend of mine who works for Maxis gave
me permission to let the world know that SimEarth IS coming out for the
Amiga (there were some doubts in-house initially).  As to when, I have
been told that it will be later this year (figure before Christmas tho').

Incidently (#define SOAPBOX), the reason why they didn't want to do it
originally was that they hadn't sold many copies of SimCity for the Amiga
and didn't think it was worth it.  The reason why they hadn't sold many is,
of course, piracy.  Think about it folks. (#undefine SOAPBOX)

Disclaimer: I don't work for Maxis or receive any benefits from them.  The
words above are mine, not Maxis, although I believe them to be accurate.
No one is bound by the above statement (either Maxis or me!).  What I typed
is not necessarily endorsed by the University of California, the State of 
Californias, Bell Labs, President Bush, Cardinal Ximenes, and most of the
New York phone directory.  If pressed, I didn't say it, read it, think it,
or even understand it.  Thhhhpt.
