Rocketgirl great post once again. I couldn't agree more, I still play sims and Simcopter once in a while. I liked Simfarm. I was hopefull it would be one of those games too, I still have hope it could be again.

Here I'll get a little more specific. I would cut: Change Scope from city to individual, eat or drink different things, explore environment (caves etc), cannot decide you're sex, more than one hand for weapons/tools, missions in house/city or ambush individuals. Maybe you could but I just think that's asking a bit much. Specialized proffesion's? Maybe. I would add A store where we have to buy individual weapons for infantry and purchase vehicle blueprints for vehicles. Also seems that in Civ stage there would be at least one mad scientist out there somewhere who could unleash a geneticaly engineered creature on another city. Could be how we end up with mixing two creatures together too.

I agree with you for the most part untill you get to Civ stage, it's a Rts you shouldn't really use the same logic for that as the other stages.

I just watched the 2005 video again (yea gluton for punishment) and Will Wright mentioned movement on a T axis backward forwards and up and down. Also sharing entire planets with others, more micromanagement on all stages (wow look at the cities Will wright has in there they are not all the same, you lay down you're own roads). City stage you were able to purchase vehicle designs. Oh and he talked about a close encounters minigame when you meet a new species, not some colection quest mission. I like the old hud in space better too.

I'm 42. Yea me too I remember gaming on a Timex/Sinclair 1000, Odysey2, Comodore64 (& Vic20).

I totaly agree Rocketgirl bring it on Maxis. I spent hours watching those old videos. I can just imagine how long I'de play with the demo. Oh someone mentioned it might not be playable in curent form, well make it playable not polished just runnable.

As far as specs go I had no idea what they would be when I bought the pc. I do play Spore some again, just not much into space stage. Plus Oblivion, Orange Box and Viva Pinata. I now know to never purchase a system based on a (some) games without a gold release date.

When I'm not being called to defend something. I do like just flying through Space and going through blackholes kind of fun.

I had a nice beefy creature yesterday that I thought had a chance to kill an epic and wouldn't you know it, couldn't find one anywhere I looked for an hour after I finished the stage.

Nice this makes this the best Sporeday in a while.

I made decisions on what gamming rig to buy based on a purchase of Spore. I could have bought a xbox 360 or Wii but chose to buy a computer instead, so I'm out $1050.

Honestly they should change the creature editor back to how it was then too. They wanted to maximize divirsity but by putting diferent levels to each part you end up with playing to get the highest level part on you're creature. In fact Morphology in all stages would be best.

Expand Civ and Creature stage, like you said more variety with citys.

I understand, that is the game I preordered and waited 3 years to buy. I just hope someday I will have something like that. Plus a more managable space game with auto colect spice and not having to quit what I'm doing to stop an eco disaster or invasion of a planet.

Still waiting for the promised Flora editor thought it would be in a patch by now.
