@PlayHistory It's quite interesting how *wildly different* these editions are from the original games, too! I've never played CivNet, but Sole Survivor _almost_ resembles a modern Battle Royale game, in which each player controls one unit that can upgrade into progressively bigger units, and SimCity 2000 NE introduces a whole mechanic requiring each player in a game session to buy parcels of land on the map before they can build on it, and the land can change hands later on as I recall.
