Outpost
One game that I remember having a few years ago was called "Outpost". I can't remember much about it now except it that it was a sci-fi space game and I enjoyed playing it. Anyone else remember it?
I just had a search for it, and it seems that it was by Sierra in 1994. Doesn't seem to be on sale anymore. I've only checked Gamespot. |

It was an awful game. Not merely dull, but broken, too. The underlying statistical engine that tracked your entries and surrounding environment numbers usually started showing very weird anomalies halfway through a game. I never met a person who actually managed to complete it successfully.
Sierra hyped it big, despite its being broken. And it bombed massively. |

Actually I do remember a point when I got quite far and then the whole thing just seemed to implode. Some of the features just stopped working.

This game got so awfull ratings in PC mags of the time, I think it was the first time I was reading about a review with such a low score... And pretty much all mags seemed to agree.
I personally own Outpost 2 and it's a very nice game a la Dune2, but with a story and with a built-in novel you could read. Everytime you finished a chapter of the game you could read a chapter of the story. A little hard with a lot of micro management but very nice.  k: Because of the same reason tough, I don't beleive I'll see Outpost 2 ABW in my lifetime. A game becomming ABW is one thing, but I don't think the concept of ABW apply to novels and such... |

This game had so many mixed feelings in it.
People gave it excellent ratings, and they gave it horrible ratings. If there ever was a game that said "Different tastes for different people" It would be this one, I actually like the tedious repetition. I own Outpost 2, and for god's sake, if you can, upload it to the site, it was really underrated and it's a wonderful game.

I played it once, and hated it. It was a buggy annoyance.
Heheheh... Marmite for gamers. You love it or hate it  |

Outpost 2 is not ABW.

It's protected because it's dead, in other words it's a license nobody wants.
