oh, yeah, just for reference, in 3ds3 (8 years old at least), there was already splines, in fact, you were almost obliged to use them (2D shaper and 3D lofter modules) if you wanted to do anything else than building poly per poly or per extrusions.

Count me in!   I remember when I bought SC2k and had to wait for months on end to play it, as the laptop we had (386sx 25Mhz, 2Mb/40Mb, greyscale LCD) didn't have enough memory to install it!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

ah, simcity2k  
I wanted to build Megacity one (judge dread). SO I made the surrounding walls with dams, and put the black archologies everywhere  .
Oh: am I the only one who saw superman attacking the tripod like alien ship when it was attacking an archology?
