Anyone play Startopia?

[Pythagoras]

I just got a souped up PC with better 3-d acceleration, I can finally enjoy this game without my framerate going to hell when I expanded large enough. Still its a fun sim-like game! Sort of like Sims meets Sim Theme Park...

Anyone else play this game much? Any pointers/strategies?

Oh yeah, I remember Staropia. I was going to pick it up once upon a time (at least in computer game terms ) but my Wintel box didn't measure up.

How do you like it?

[Pythagoras]

It is good. Its a fairly easy management game but has tons to do and build. The downside is (was) that it was graphically intense for its time. Combat is also very straight forward and bland, definitely more of a management game.

Probably dirt cheap these days If anyone sees it around, I'd pick it up if I were them.

I bought it some time ago but never installed it because my HD was already choked full of other things... Now that I have bought a new HD, Startopia is on my list of "soon-to-be-installed" games. It seems to be fun.

Another one here that picked it up in the bargain bin. Haven't played it yet as there are many other games I need to play first...

I played it quite a while ago. There are some things that are fun in it, but never got around to playing against another computer player, just building up and trying to expand over the space station.

It has some tricks to it (play wise) and I use to change (terraform) that one area that you can raise and lower and change around -- the (I forget) relaxation area, whatever it is called.

I think there was also a patch to download, as I usually look at Gamespot for the games and reviews.

Oh, the the Intro movie is funny!

I have been thinking of buying it too. But now that I have started playing World of Warcraft, I doubt that I will ever play another game again
