Yeah, that sure is a goofy bit, isn't it! The official TLG website isn't
one to be trusted always (IMHO) with minutae like that, but to the best of
my knowledge, they did get the Underground part right. Time will tell, of
course. :-)

Sounds like an excellent hypothesis! I think there was even a chart like
that somewhere on the TLG website at one point -- grouping things into
medium-level categories with names like "Futuristic" for Aquazone and Space
(that was 1998, I think).

Hee hee, and Fabuland -- not part of System, but if it were, where would it
go, because it never really existed in the past or the future. And Star Wars,
heh heh, that's "futuristic" but not "future" (since SW actually took place
in the _past_ :-)...
Yikes!
