All Demos Outpost 2 They were the last survivors of a dead Earth, castaways in an ocean of stars with not one they could call home. For nearly a century they drifted, suspended in cold sleep, while computer intelligences guided their hastily-built starship and searched, unsuccessfully, for an Earth-like world. Resources dwindling, the computers woke a few of the crew to make a desperate decision. If no Earth-like world could be found, how close was close enough? Their voyage ended on a world they named New Terra, in the same spirit that desert dwellers once named their towns after sources of water. In truth, it was nothing like Earth; stark, hostile, forbidding, and in its own way, beautiful. There the last few hundred surviving humans cobbled together a town from their meager supplies and what they could salvage from their starship and landers. At first the colony was known only as "Outpost," but as it grew, the colonists gave it a real name. They called it Eden... Outpost 2 is a real-time strategy/action/city-building game for strategy gamers. Play as the leader of the original colony, Eden, or the rebellious splinter colony, Plymouth. Manage your people and build your civilization while fending off natural disasters and the neighboring colony. The sequel to one of the most popular Sierra games in recent years, Outpost 2 combines science-fiction strategy with real-time game play to make for an incredibly fun and challenging gaming experience. outpost2\setup.exe n/a outpost2 http://www.sierra.com/titles/outpost2/site/ For Win95.
