something i don't need is another Conquer the World/Galaxy game, but this one will let you assimilate!

on the horizon: Star Trek: Borg Simulator. Although it's also set in the Next Generation universe, there are no characters from the series. Instead, players get to control the entire Borg Collective and control the queen and drones as they assimilate a planet. Borg Simulator will be available early 2002.

i'm the type of guy who enjoys nerve stapling drones in Alpha Centauri and using nukes in the various Civilization games. assimilation should be fun.
