Aspyr Media Inc. announced Wednesday that its Macintosh conversion of Space Colony has gone gold master, the final step before the game goes into production. The company expects the game to ship on June 14th, with copies hitting store shelves by the 18th. Space Colony is a simulation game that also includes some real time strategy elements: Not only must you manage the interpersonal relationships of the people on board your space colony, but you’ve got to properly manage and develop resources too. “Imagine The Sims are sent to space, but they’re dysfunctional,” is how Aspyr describes Space Colony.
Space Colony available for pre-order for US$29.99. System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2.8, Power Mac G4/733MHz or faster, 256MB RAM, 1.0GB available hard disk space, 4x CD-ROM.
