Is it out there?  Well, it was originally made for the Mac and then 
moved to the IBM after a while.  It then moved to S-NES when they 
discovered that is was powerful enough to run such a game.  You can still
find it in some catalogs, (I see it every once in a while) so keep looking.
You can also check out SIMEARTH and SIMANT.  You might also like populous
(yes, it came out on PC's first, too).

P.S.  I've going to start track bets on the number of insulting responses
you get from all the game nerds like myself who consider that type of 
knowledge trivial.  Any bets?
