Christopher Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks to gog.com for bringing out a lot of old games, I stumbeled over one game I never got to play earlier (but always wanted to try): Space Colony According to tvtrops.org it's best described as "Strongholds mixed with Sims": http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpaceColony Here is the demo and the way to purchase it on a fan Site: http://www.spacecolonyfans.net/sc_downloads.html While playing it I had several ideas of how to adapt the missions for a Space Campaign by throwing a pair of heroes into the situation (either instead of the game characters, or in addition to them), but I don't have a game running right now. Still I think the missions might be inspiring for others as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Re: I craete my Space Colony and populate it with... Neat looking game Christopher. I would like to see something like that with cutting edge graphics. Still, I was thinking of something like this very thing earlier today.

AlHazred Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Re: I craete my Space Colony and populate it with... This could be similar to the Creepy Hotel thread... Maybe "Help Me Populate a Quirky Space Colony"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Re: I craete my Space Colony and populate it with... I think we did have a help populate a space colony thread a while ago. But, I think it died after about 2-3 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier Onassiss Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Re: I craete my Space Colony and populate it with... ...and it was very helpful. That campaign is still running, with a few of those NPCs making regular appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Re: I craete my Space Colony and populate it with... Xavier's thread had some cool ideas in it, but was purposely restricted to things that would work in Terracide (humans, no robot AIs, no aliens). I think a more general space opera thread might last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
