Ahh, bad news guys. It appears that as Atari (Infogrammes) was purchasing the remnants of MicroProse from Hasbro, Sid Meier jumped in and grabbed some old gems to remake, such as Pirates!, Civilization (of course), Railroads!, X-Com (and sequels), and likely Master of Magic, since it bears a more than passing resemblance to Civ. Since Master of Orion/Master of Orion II was developed by Simtex, Sid possibly wasn't able to get those, which is why we have a possibility of seeing those.
X-Com is currently in development at Firaxis - Turn based, First person shooter elsewhere.
