- Moonbase is not a good game, it is below average ** stars out of 5. It is a
- CHEAP SimCity rip-off. If you guys think Andrew Welch did a cheap hack job
- (e.g. copy Haller) you should see what a real rip-off is. MoonBase is a
- simplified SimCity that takes place on the Moon, the play is basic and the
- graphics are not good, it will not run on a PowerBook but it does run on my
- colour SE/30. Don't buy it save you money and buy SimCity Supreme.
