Review: Space Colony, PC

In a nutshell, Space Colony is an interactive soap opera. It follows the story of Venus Jones, a seasoned acquisitions expert who is hoping to retire after this one last assignment. You'll meet her, and an ever increasing cast of quirky characters, twenty in all. Your job is to manage their Sims-style traits and keep them working efficiently. You can build rooms on the station and add all sorts of furniture, equipment, and so forth, add more energy collectors as the population increases, add force fields to zap the hostile alien locusts that come around now and then, everything a space colony could want.
