  • Trying out a new name as was suggested by one of my viewers, we'll see how this pans out.
    This is an interesting little game and one I played alot of back in the day. Rented it almost constantly from a small game rental place not far from home. Never did manage to find it for sale though.
    Either way, its a sort of Sim city in space deal, sort of along the same lines as Alpha Centauri, though being for the SNES it is alot more simple. We are trying to keep the colonists happy, which isn't too easy, and at the same time, deal with an alien inhabitation that is always hostile, and nearby. It can get kind of difficult as time goes on! Not sure how long I will play this, we will see!

    This is actually one of my favorite SNES game. Build a hospital by January 3rd, then security, then power station ASAP. Before February ends, change birth rate on hospital to high so you'll have more colonists. Then build flux pods and labs. Also I strongly advise building laser turrets every 5 squares. It costs power but you'll be pretty safe from attacks. With this you can also build solar panels/generators along the outside perimeter with the laser turrets. Trust me, even the lucratians can't stop you once you do so. And do NOT donate to spy grant until you can put in at least 70,000 credits. You'll get better info.

      Why rush security when you can rush workshop/mine to trade for money boost? Also haven't played this game in like 15 years so yah lol.

    I rented this game a lot from Blockbuster as well. One day it was up for sale, I snatched it up quickly. I still have it today. Loved this game, glad I found this LP.

    Great vid! Got a thumbs up for me :) I used to LOVE this game back when I was a kid. The music still rings in my head from time to time. I remember it took me weeks of failing until i finally figured out what the hell O2 was and how to get it lol.

      Willow Martin If Utopia had anything, it was some pretty sweet music.
      It was a good, if terribly confusing game.

      +Bormac Yes, also one of the few SNES games with multiple gameplay (and one critical) bugs. Disappearing but "still there" tanks, massive playfield building corruption after long enough and unknown trigger conditions, very poor UI controls on certain things, tons of things lacking polish that would really improve the experience.
      That said, I love this damn game. It also could use the SNES mouse, and this is how I prefer to play it on emulator...

    I still play this game. Bash through the missions at least once a year on Dos Box via my PC. The sort of game you young folk haven't got time to figure out any more. One of my fav games of all time. Nice to see you trying to work it out though. One thing I would say is the Amiga version is what I played, and seems a better version, but I may just be biased of course.

    • @Bormac
      @Bormac  9 років тому

      +J Monkey "You young folk"? Heh, I've been around awhile myself, sir.
      Anyway the Amiga WAS probably better than this, it was a stronger system than the SNES so it could support more stuff.
      One would hope anyway.

    @Bormac  12 років тому +1

    I used to rent it myself.. I wish I had "lost" it at one point so I could have paid for a replacement..only physical copy I've ever seen. It's a neat little game.
    Glad you enjoyed it. Just a shame I had so many issues in recording.

  • @PaulDavies4

    Awesome game, I always build a full screen, with guns on the corners, and solar panels on the outside, and leave a 2 square space all around it for tanks to roll past. Always loved sending the entire 100 tanks off in one go with a load of space ships.

    Like many of you, I rented and played the crap out of this game. I remember stressing out during the week until the weekend when i could rent it again thinking some one would ruin my save. But not many kids were into this game so it was good. My main problem with the game was the poor path finding skills of the tanks. I also wished I could see an alien city instead of just hearing about it via spy reports.

    • @Bormac
      @Bormac  11 років тому +1

      Would be nice if you could just win a planet instead of having the aliens rebuild after a bit every time. No matter what. That bugs me. : } But yes, this was a fun game.
      Would be neat if they remade it I think. But I doubt they'd get it right.

    this brings back memorys - besides secret of mana my favourite game on my SNES console. I think the box should also be somewhere stuffed away - as far as i can remember my mum ordered it from a second hand gamestore because i was desperately looking for it for ages - probably the best present ever :)

    Utopia is a pretty neat game. People seem to really want me to play it again. Maybe I will when I have time.. just its the sort of game that does not end..so tough to really "play through" it.

    I remember playing this on SNES, it was ok, but I really hated how restricted the view was, it could be a pain in the neck finding a specific building in a town of any great size. Never did get why you'd make a game where half the screen wasn't used for anything.

    • @Bormac
      @Bormac  8 років тому

      +Karagianis Probably strictly limitations of the hardware. It was a pretty complex game for the SNES.
