> Hey, Ali. When's the NeXT version of SimCity coming out?? 8-)

     Well, the original programme author and concept was done by Will Wright.
Will is a *MASSIVE* Mac fan, so who knows if we will ever see a NeXT
version. Will originally wrote SimCity on....drum roll.....the C= 64, but
he never finished it :(. On the 64 version you could send Godzilla, huricanes,
and other nasty stuff on a rampage through the city -- really great to watch
Godzilla smashing about :).

	Will is also so the author of "Raid on Bungling Bay" for the C= 64.
I asked a friend of mine (Justin McCormick) to ask Will if he was ever going
to port it over to the Mac/Amiga/ST/PC/etc and he said that Will "doesn't
ever want to see another piece of that code again." This is a Mega- :-(
situation in my book.....nuff' with the trivia....later!
