Build and manage an Utopia among the stars!

Startopia, the one of a kind cosmic-themed city building and managing simulation, is now available on GOG.com for only $5.99.

Envision a gigantic network of starships and space-stations housing a diverse population of alien races living together in harmony. Imagine the thriving intergalactic commerce, the flourishing culture, the booming scientific and technological advancement! Picture the perfect society living in luxury and peace of this utopia--or a Startopia, if you will. I'll have you know that such place really existed until the disastrous intergalactic war brought an end to this cosmic paradise. But not all hope is lost! If you prove to be a capable Stationmaster--skillful in economy, city planning, interspecies politics, and brutal corporate rivalry--Startopia will rise again!

Startopia takes the classic city-builder genre to the stars! Manage a fully simulated alien society of nine distinctive races in which each citizen's mood, needs, and goals can be individually tracked. Supply your station with commerce, security, leisure, and habitation. Design bio-decks and use terraforming technology to shape them to your liking. But these are only some of the tasks that lie ahead of you. All of this will be much easier with the help of VAL--your AI advisor--brilliantly voiced by William Franklyn, the British actor famous for his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio performance.

Prove to be a worthy administrator of Startopia and restore the perfect stellar society to its former glory, for only $5.99!

gandalf.nho: Never played this one, is a difficult game or is more casual?
There's sandbox mode where you can turn the enemy managers off, have infinite resources and relax: do some gardening, plan brothels, watch scuzzers and aliens.
Ah man I loved this game... just bought the three games in the TT promo though so wishlisting for now to be picked up next payslip ;)
This is awesome...have been eyeballing this game for a while, and now that it's available totally drm free, well...crap.

Uh? No, the doughnut intro is perfectly normal... perfectly normal. Just like helpful sectoid medics.
This! Thank you, GOG. I was hoping that Startopia would find it´s way into the GOG game catalogue. WIshlisted, buying ASAP.

So, now that you´ve released Startopia and Mucky Foot Productions are are here, could you please release Urban Chaos as well?

Would be delighted to have them here (both games quite obscure, at least to my surroundings, but alongside with Shadow Man one of the most interesting games of it´s era).

Damn it, gog. It was less than a week ago that I said I wouldn't be buying anything here for a while, but I can't help it!
Well at least this an enjoyable way to get into the poor house.
Instabuy. I have been waiting for this day to arrive since GoG initially launched.
Never played this but looks cool. Wishlisted for now as i have a baglog from hell jus now and Wallace & Gromit have me hooked.
Does anyone know if the multiplayer works?
I remember seeing this somewhere years ago and thought it looked good, then forgot all about it. Well on my wish list until the bank account looks healthy again.
Two words: long overdue.


Thanks, GoG. Now get Carmageddon released, for crying out loud.

scharmers: for crying out loud.
Literally.
"Hey there, it's your old pal Aurona"

I have the retail copy and play a couple times a week. I'm so buying this so I don't have to use my disk anymore.

I would love to see the soundtrack as bonus content. Once you hear the music you always come back for more. I think they put hidden messages in it.
"...building and managinng simulation..."

Should be spelled "managing."

Great game, though, and I plan to pick it up as soon as I have the money for it.
