Utopia: The Creation of a Nation (1991)
Genres:Strategy, Simulator
Themes:Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Utopia takes the Sim City gameplay concept and adds a military element to it. The game is set in the distant future, where your job is nothing less than Colony Administrator for a new settlement on some far-flung planet. Your aim is to provide the highest Quality of Life rating for the colonists.
You do so by ensuring that there is enough life support, power, housing, employment, police and entertainment to keep the citizens of your colony happy. Hindering your goal are random events such as solar eclipses (which can render your solar panels inactive) and also a different, hostile alien race that inhabits the planets in the many scenarios at offer.
Not only do you have to be a good mayor but you also have to be a good general. Resources must not only be attributed to civilian research but into weapons research, intelligence and the building of tanks and spaceships, if you wish to survive long enough to see your colony flourish into a metropolis. As a rule, you will have built a strong colony before the aliens come, but the final push towards a QOL of 80% or higher can only be achieved once there is no outside threat.Show more

Amazing soundtrack, It was one of the first Amiga games I played. My playing of strategy games began with this game. I remember worrying about the drop in the quality of life factor, sending spies and waiting for information from a foreign city. The game was challenging but not in a bad way.
Having originally played Utopia on the SNES and having only recently learned that there was a PC version of Utopia has opened my eyes to the possibility of finally enjoying this game again.
The enjoyment that I got from building my own little space colony before it got wrekt by aliens since I didn't know any better about building tanks or spaceships was always a highlight.
Dieses Spiel macht so besonders, als Spieler muss man wirklich alle Faktoren im Auge behalten:
Bevölkerung und deren Befinden sowie die Nahrungsversorgung. Die Rohstoffversorgung, Energieversorgung und den Ausbau der Verteidigung sind genauso wichtig. Ich habe damals am SNES Stundenlang immer wieder neue Kolonien erbaut und die Möglichkeiten an das Limit des SNES getrieben.
So war die Fahrzeugbegrenzung bei 100 Stück (Flugunfähige wie auch Panzer), was einem manchmal schon in eine Entscheidungsnot brachte.
Obwohl es an sich ein Singleplayer-Spiel ist, haben wir zusammen auf den recht kleinen Kartenausschnitte zum Teil zu viert geschaut und darüber diskutiert, was nun das beste wäre.
Gerade in der Anfangsphase konnte man, wenn man schlecht die Gebäude platziert hat, in eine Sackgasse geraden, wenn nicht genug Rohstoffe abgebaut wurden um neue Gebäude zu errichten, die Bevölkerung unglücklich wurde, oder der Feind ein Teil der Planetenoberfläche patrouillierte und man so von notwendigen Rohstoffen, oder Bauplätzen abgeschnitten wurde.
Natürlich ist das Spiel damals jetzt nicht so tief wie bei einem SimCity im Detail. Dafür aber gab das Spiel einem das Gefühl alles im Auge behalten zu müssen und kontrollieren zu können.
Dazu kommt der Soundtrack, der weniger nervig rüber kommt als er vielleicht bei anderen Spielen ist.
Wirklich schade waren eben die Limitierungen, die durch die damalige Technik bestanden insbesondere der dann doch recht kleine Kartenausschnitt, dem man aktuell im Fokus hatte.
Just the hours spent in a virtual universe.
Stunning isometric visuals for the day with great sounds and a cherished memory of play and merriment.
Something that I would wish could be shared with everyone.
I have spent so many times playing this game ! It was (no… it still is) a great simulation game.
I ve played on Atari 1040 STe and spent countless hours managing my colony
Bring it to life… again !!

Dune II - The Battle for ArrakisDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed.
The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.
