I was very disappointed about SimEarth. SimCity was really good, but SimEarth
is more a Push-lever-and-look-what-happens 'game'. It's not as fascinating as
SimCity and Civ. RRT is also good, SimAnt better than SimEarth. But SimEarth
- I must repeat this - is in my opinion only a demonstration, not a game...

SimCity is a great game...
Don't know about SimEarth or SimAnt.

But, you could have a look at UTOPIA: you have to make a colony
prosperous and people satisfied -- as in SimCity.
But, there are enemies you have to resist at and eventually defeat.
So you have to choose between building comfort installations or
military labs & factories...
I like this game (Utopia) as much as SimCity.
(This is a purely personal opinion...).

Could you give me a little information on this game?  I'm not familiar with
it and I'm wondering if it's worth the time to find it....
