Description
Taking your team of starry-eyed misfits with you, you must search out and colonize some of the galaxies most inhospitable planets. Starting from scratch your colony will need to quickly grow from a simple life-supporting pod into a sprawling meteoric metropolis, capable of keeping this most eclectic troop of tenants happy. As difficult as this can be, life in the colony isn't just about surviving, it's about big bucks and you're going to need to use every resource this planet has to offer to make them. Whether that's capturing the locals to create an alien zoo to attract tourists, mining the planet's core for materials, building a discotheque big enough to accommodate both country and rock or defending your settlement against alien attack -- whatever it takes, responsibility for the colonies survival rests squarely with you.

While not without its flaws, Space Colony is a fun and innovative strategy title.
