Now that everybody is salivating over SimEarth (including myself), I've got a question about SimCity if anybody feels like shifting gears. It was rumored on the net a while back about some supplementary types of "building blocks" (pun sort-of intended) for SimCity -- like for future types of cities and such. In the SimEarth box, there was a little flier advertising these packages, but has anybody heard more about these? More specifically, does anybody know when they'll be out? Maxis has be busy lately, and they've produced some great work. BTW: I still haven't found out about how robots evolve in SimEarth. There definitely is support for them in the game, but they can kill most any other type of creature, and can live in any type of weather. Ideas? -- --Lance M.

I've checked with three local outlets (Babbages, Walden's, and Software Etc) None have a release date for the Mac version.
