They worked with a lot of different publishers, so the re-re-release deals sometimes would need to include both Warner Bros who own Monolith, and whichever entity has swallowed up the publisher, making things too complicated for something that's gonna be sold for $5.

So since I'm finally reading Meier's memoir, I can confirm that it says "Brian wrote every line of code" about Colonization. And a chunk of the chapter is dedicated to Meier discussing his name becoming a brand.

Dialogue was stock, so anyone from Napoleon to Stalin could threaten you with nukes, but players found Ghandi ones most memorable.

And that's it for the April 8th 1996 draft of The Matrix. There are some differences from the final thing, but nothing too significant. It's fairly obvious that the Wachowskis had a pretty clear idea early on about what the wanted to make.

Same with graphics in game. Square tiles appear stretched out vertically. How and why is probably forever lost to time, but one can make an argument that Civilization is meant to be played in 16:10. Or not. Because clearly it *wouldn't* be played like that at the time. 🤷

I feel like a bit more background on both Sinclair and Curry and their split would have benefited the film, but it's a tv movie with an extremely limited run time, so you can't have everything.

Oh, I guess I might as well explain how this happened. Weinstein's Miramax was producing Dogma. When the film began attracting controversy Disney, who owned Miramax, got cold feet. Harvey & Bob then bought the film outright & sold distribution to Lionsgate. The deal since lapsed.

It's not that much better. Collisions in MegaRace also suck, and the cars still slide side to side. It works better in MegaRace because the track isn't a real filmed location, so it just blends better. And the fact that the whole thing isn't meant to be realistic 2 begin with.
