- SpaceFarming is a game pretty similar to the old hit
- 'Oil Imperium'. Instead of digging for oil you grow
- grain.
- The game is set to a future time. Man kind has colonized
- space. Many people move out from the surface of the
- planets and into space stations orbiting the planets and
- stars. These people need food. Importing grain from
- planets is expensive so someone came up with the idea of
- growing grain in huge space stations orbiting planets
- and stars. This would make the grain a lot cheaper and
- encourage people to move out from the crowded planets
- and into the space stations.
- Buy a sector around a planet/star and buy a space station
- where you can grow your crops. Also remember to buy a
- grain tank (to store your grain in). Sabotage the other
- players, dump the grain prices in a system by selling
- huge amounts of grain there, build a grain imperium, do
- what ever you like. To win the game you must crush all
- your opponents (they must be busted). The last player
- not bankrupt will win the game.
- The game is a multiplayer game. You need at least 2
- human players but you can have up to 9 (NINE!) players
- at once! (Only 3 in demo version)
- The game includes an on-line help system. At any time you
- may press the 'Help'-key and you will get help. Place the
- mouse pointer over something you don't know what is and
- press 'Help' or just place the mouse pointer in an empty
- area and press 'Help' to get some general help about the
- current screen.
- The game is turn based. Each turn is a ½ year. You get
- crops each turn.
- Try out the game! Use the on-line help and think logical.
- If you've ever played Oil Imperium before think of that
- game when playing this. It'll help you a lot to get
- started.
-
- This is only a demo-version of SpaceFarming and has got
- some limitations:
- -You can have only 3 players. (9 in full version)
- -You can't save/load your games.
- -The game stops after about 1 hour.
-
- To get rid of these limitations you must register the game.
- In the full game you can also design your own logos. The
- demo version includes some duff looking standard logos for
- each player.
- Other things under development:
- -A serial link option (play at two amigas at once)
-
- The serial link option will be available to all registered
- users when finished.
-
- To register the game you must send me £3.00 and a disk.
