Utopia: The Creation of a Nation (1991)
Genres:Strategy, Simulator
Themes:Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Utopia takes the Sim City gameplay concept and adds a military element to it. The game is set in the distant future, where your job is nothing less than Colony Administrator for a new settlement on some far-flung planet. Your aim is to provide the highest Quality of Life rating for the colonists.
You do so by ensuring that there is enough life support, power, housing, employment, police and entertainment to keep the citizens of your colony happy. Hindering your goal are random events such as solar eclipses (which can render your solar panels inactive) and also a different, hostile alien race that inhabits the planets in the many scenarios at offer.
Not only do you have to be a good mayor but you also have to be a good general. Resources must not only be attributed to civilian research but into weapons research, intelligence and the building of tanks and spaceships, if you wish to survive long enough to see your colony flourish into a metropolis. As a rule, you will have built a strong colony before the aliens come, but the final push towards a QOL of 80% or higher can only be achieved once there is no outside threat.Show more

Amazing soundtrack, It was one of the first Amiga games I played. My playing of strategy games began with this game. I remember worrying about the drop in the quality of life factor, sending spies and waiting for information from a foreign city. The game was challenging but not in a bad way.
Having originally played Utopia on the SNES and having only recently learned that there was a PC version of Utopia has opened my eyes to the possibility of finally enjoying this game again.
The enjoyment that I got from building my own little space colony before it got wrekt by aliens since I didn't know any better about building tanks or spaceships was always a highlight.
Dieses Spiel macht so besonders, als Spieler muss man wirklich alle Faktoren im Auge behalten:
Bevölkerung und deren Befinden sowie die Nahrungsversorgung. Die Rohstoffversorgung, Energieversorgung und den Ausbau der Verteidigung sind genauso wichtig. Ich habe damals am SNES Stundenlang immer wieder neue Kolonien erbaut und die Möglichkeiten an das Limit des SNES getrieben.
So war die Fahrzeugbegrenzung bei 100 Stück (Flugunfähige wie auch Panzer), was einem manchmal schon in eine Entscheidungsnot brachte.
Obwohl es an sich ein Singleplayer-Spiel ist, haben wir zusammen auf den recht kleinen Kartenausschnitte zum Teil zu viert geschaut und darüber diskutiert, was nun das beste wäre.
Gerade in der Anfangsphase konnte man, wenn man schlecht die Gebäude platziert hat, in eine Sackgasse geraden, wenn nicht genug Rohstoffe abgebaut wurden um neue Gebäude zu errichten, die Bevölkerung unglücklich wurde, oder der Feind ein Teil der Planetenoberfläche patrouillierte und man so von notwendigen Rohstoffen, oder Bauplätzen abgeschnitten wurde.
Natürlich ist das Spiel damals jetzt nicht so tief wie bei einem SimCity im Detail. Dafür aber gab das Spiel einem das Gefühl alles im Auge behalten zu müssen und kontrollieren zu können.
Dazu kommt der Soundtrack, der weniger nervig rüber kommt als er vielleicht bei anderen Spielen ist.
Wirklich schade waren eben die Limitierungen, die durch die damalige Technik bestanden insbesondere der dann doch recht kleine Kartenausschnitt, dem man aktuell im Fokus hatte.

CarcassonneCarcassonne starts with a single terrain tile face up and 71 others shuffled face down for the players to draw from. On each turn a player draws a new terrain tile and places it adjacent to tiles that are already face up. The new tile must be placed in a way that extends features on the tiles it abuts: roads must connect to roads, fields to fields, and cities to cities.
A part of a game board after several turns.After placing each new tile, the placing player may opt to station a piece on a feature of that newly-placed tile. The placing player may not use a follower to claim any features of the tile that extend or connect features already claimed by another player. However, it is possible for terrain features claimed by opposing players to become "shared" by the subsequent placement of tiles connecting them. For example, two field tiles which each have a follower can become connected into a single field by another terrain tile.
The game ends when the last tile has been placed. At that time, all features (including fields) score points for the players with the most followers on them. The player with the most points wins the game.Historical
