One of my first RTs ever played! I still reme,ber all the SFX sound of each unit and goals. The grays ones gave me chills! Please make it posible, since I want to know how the game ended.
I played this game on a Pentium 1. I used to draw the alien and human fighting when I was little. I just wish someone could remaster this one as it reminds me of the old days when games were still fun.
This the first Strategy Game I played where I freaked out when the day and night cycle changed. Cool concepts and fun animations, simple humans vs aliens no fluff.
Eu tinha 8 anos, foi o primeiro RTS e um dos primeiros jogos que joguei em PC na vida (ao lado de Doom II, Pitfall e Heart of Darkness) lá pelos idos de 1998, no computador de um amigo do meu padrasto, além disso, o primeiro jogo com tradução e dublagem totalmente em Português do Brasil que eu vi na vida!! Jogão que envelheceu muito bem. tanto em gráficos quanto jogabilidade!
Upvote this gem!!
Jeden z pierwszych RTSów, które ograłem na własnym kompie. Demo znalezione na płycie z CD-Action, pełna wersja kupiona przez kuzyna na giełdzie komputerowej w Warszawie. Niesamowita gra z piękną, obfitującą w efekty świetlne, grafiką. Czasem ciężki klimat, czasem mocno krwawo, ale przełożyło się to na jeden z najlepszych RTSów tamtych czasów (a konkurencja była duża - złote lata tego gatunku gier)
That game is such a hidden gem... an unique game that has ideas way before Warcraft 3 was a thing... It provided an unique experience to the player on the planet Mars.
Dark Colony was my first pc sim.. this is back when it was originally released.. The opening cinematics of the battles with the Greys was gory for its time..lol.. an all around great game.. I loved it then and I would love to relive those days again with it being released by G.O.G.
I never got a chance to played this game when I was a kid cause this game is unavailable or the game never reach popularity in my country before. But I am really interested on playing this game! You guys, the GOG team can make my wish come true! As for someone who doesn't have chance to play this game, my favorite unit is Sy-Demon! I heard the game also have a Expansion. So if people want to buy this game, make it full package instead! Like "Dark Colony + Expansion"! Just like you did in Dark Reign!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
