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.
Just the hours spent in a virtual universe.
Stunning isometric visuals for the day with great sounds and a cherished memory of play and merriment.
Something that I would wish could be shared with everyone.
I have spent so many times playing this game ! It was (no… it still is) a great simulation game.
I ve played on Atari 1040 STe and spent countless hours managing my colony
Bring it to life… again !!
NHL 2004NHL 2004, developed by the EA Black Box studios, is an ice hockey video game. It is the successor to NHL 2003 and is widely considered to be a major turning point in the NHL series. The game adds 3 European Elite Leagues: Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), Sweden's Elitserien (SEL), and Finland's SM-liiga. (This is not the first time that European teams are included in an EA game; EA released both Elitserien 95 and Elitserien 96 for the Mega Drive in Sweden only and Elitserien and SM-liiga 2001 as an expansion pack for PC in Sweden and Finland which included those teams.) The ratings of the teams in the Elitserien and SM-liiga were comparable to the NHL rosters, however future installments had the league teams inferior to the NHL.Non-fiction

Forza Motorsport 4Forza Motorsport 4 is a racing video game, and the fourth in the Forza Motorsport series. Like Sony's Gran Turismo franchise, Forza games are racing simulations; heavy emphasis is placed on making the cars drive and look as realistic as possible. Races are conducted on closed circuit tracks. 500 cars are featured in the core game experience, ranging from road cars to race cars.
Players can utilize Kinect to look into a corner using a new head tracking feature. This allows them to look toward the apex of a corner or at nearby cars. The controller or steering wheel is used to control the car while Kinect is used independently for viewing around the driver. Players can also use Kinect as a game controller. In this setting the game automatically accelerates and decelerates the player's vehicle utilizing a modified version of the feature known as Auto Brake in Forza Motorsport 3. The steering is controlled by placing the players arms out as if controlling an invisible steering wheel. Kinect will allow the player to use voice commands to start races and navigate menus.
