SC2000 didn't sell merely 20,000 copies or something, it apparently >>sold LESS than 1000 copies. >> > [snip] Sorry, I just came across this thread now, so I really can't contribute to the dicussion very much. I must say though that it is very disappointing to hear that SC2000 failed. I really like this game, I bought when I saw it, and now there probably won't be any upgrades to it. Its also a shame that Maxis got burned on this one, since it was admirable that a traditional DOS/Windows gaming company had actual taken the effort make an OS/2 specific game. Randy
