The main site doesn't even reveal the game exists and for the first time wikipedia has failed us on this topic. -------------------- George Bush is a Nazi - Eric Cartmen I'm not as think you stoned I am Visit the RIFQ Forums Posts: 462 \| Registered: Tuesday, June 21 2005 07:00

Anyway. If any of you want Sim Isle, just IM me. I think the game is crap, but I have it.

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, July 24 2006 22:04 Profile Homepage #11 Wow. I understand SimIsle better from its Wikipedia article than from the game manual. I think I still own it, but the likelyhood of me ever playing it again is slim, since I'd probably find SimAnt or the Streets of SimCity first and play one of those instead. After all, Dikiyoba finds running for Dikiyoba's little ant life from a huge spider and narrowly avoiding collisons with trains a lot more fun than pushing buttons randomly and hoping that something good comes from it.

I never really liked SimIsle, but I do like SimEarth, SimAnt, SimCity and SimTower. I'll have to see if SimEarth works on my PC. :Edit: Diki, I think you are thinking about hte lawnmower in SimAnt.

It looked like a three-armed sea star if I remember correctly. That's the tri, and I suppose possibly each one has a (noto)chord, but what are they based on? —Alorael, who likes any game in which the time required for the animation of a nuclear explosion to complete is much longer than the time the radioactivity remains in the area.
