About this product

Product Information

Note: W3.1 version 1.5 will run on Windows 95 as well.<br><br>Outpost is a strategy intensive, world-building game designed by a former scientist Bruce Balfour of the Space Sciences Division of NASA's Ames Research Center. As a researcher of computer artificial intelligence routines applied to galactic probes, Balfour brings realism and tons of hard science to the computer game screen in Outpost. The game features brilliant SVGA graphics and an intuitive point-and-click interface with menu based commands. On-line help is available with a simple right click of the mouse on most on-screen items. <br><br>The game is turn-based with turns not having any particular real time equivalent and most games will take between 800 to 10,000 turns to complete. Outpost has two fairly "soft" victory conditions but play doesn't necessarily end when they have been reached. Basically the game is designed to be an open-ended simulation that tests the players ability to establish a colony, discover and mine resources that can be used to advance technology and provide a life-sustaining environment in the stark and inhospitable landscape of an alien world. <br><br>Genetic and technology research, robot manipulation, environmental control, competition with an estranged and hostile renegade faction of fellow humans and development of tough survival skills are all fully designed aspects of the simulation. Earth, having been utterly destroyed in a numbing catastrophe, is no longer a safe haven and there is no turning back for the last remaining humans. This CD-ROM version 1.5 corrects some earlier problems experienced with the initial release of the game that caused a general (and sometimes specific) skewering of Sierra for releasing an incomplete game. Most complaints have been addressed in this version which now includes a 22-page tutorial (covers about 80 turns) and a plethora of helpful information regarding equipment and research requirements. Fans who were disappointed by the initial game should enjoy the fruition of Sierra's redesign and updated release.

    Earth 2

    I enjoyed the first game more the Outpost 2. Earth is dying. You must colonize a new planet. The first part of the game is tedious going through the countdown and loading the ship with supplies. It is also difficult to figure out a landing site from space for the new planet. You must pick from only four randowly generated maps. You might micro-manage the colony. It is hard because as in real life you don't always find the mineral in extactly the right proportion to your needs. You must be carefull to not build too rapidly at first and not have the resources for later in the game. It is not clear how to win the game. You must either terraform the planet or build a new starship to try again. The tech tree is complicated and you can't build too many research labs at first. Most of the colony ...

    Great game at a great price

    I had this game several years ago and I didn't think it would run on my old computer running xp but it does . it doesn' run in Windows 10 but I knew that. I shouldn't have threw the old one away but this is a good one at a good price.

    Outpost

    It was a hard game to play in Windows 98. It takes time to get thru the scenarios but it is an intriguing game.
