    Wow, Outpost; that was around 10 years ago right? The original Outpost was sort-of like a Sim-City game where you also did research to learn new processes and technology that you could use. Once you learned nanotechnology, the game was essentially trivial.

    Closer to 12 years ago. It was horribly buggy and horribly slow, though I think there were patches released later on that fixed many of the issues in the game. The initial release though was a nightmare: many functions touted in the manual were simply not in the game, and it was almost impossible to play for more than a couple of hours without it crashing. It ran in Windows 3.1, and used to violate system integrity more than anything at the time. I cannot really comment on how good the gameplay was, because the technical shortcomings of the game ended up with me returning the game a few days after I bought. A shame, because the concept was quite interesting at the time.

    Outpost II was just plain terrible. I got Outpost I to run just fine on a Macintosh.

    I don't even know how to get a hold of it, though.
