And for that matter, good ole SimCity.

I talked to a dude at Maxis a couple months ago, and he said that SimCity
2000 is due out either this summer or this fall, and has many improvements,
enhancements, and additions over the original.  I mentioned Civilization to
him and he mentioned that Maxis is working on a competitor but it's not
supposed to be finished until next spring.

A couple people have mentioned upgrades to Civilization.  I've not heard
anything from MicroProse (though I did register my software) and I was
hoping someone could describe what the upgrade does.
