StarTopia is a computer game from Mucky Foot Productions (formed by ex-Bullfrog employees) and published by Eidos in 2001, in which the player administrates various space stations with the task of developing them into popular hubs. The game has a comical overtone, with lighthearted humour and cartoonish aliens.
Its like Sims meets Dungeon Keeper in space, its pretty damn addiciting.
The game is hard but in a good way. It is the only game I know of and love I have it on GOG.com and pending on steam.
This game has long been a favorite since I originally tried it 2 years ago. I wish there was a StarTopia 2. The only real issues with this game, is that it was shut down long before it's time.
