I just got this a few days ago - it's bloody brilliant :)

It's basically Theme Park in a space station, but far more varied - you can run your station as a prison, or as a trade / farming depot (there's a terraformable top deck) - replate with a neat little docking bay for merchant ships, a sort of casino (there's a recreation deck for stuff like shops, pubs, er...love nests, et al...

In other words, it's fun.  I'd recommend it, especially as I got it pretty cheap - it's (UK)£10-15 most places, and it's only about a year old.

I played the demo (incredibly buggy) and it was quite fun.... was thinking about buying but opted to buy other games instead. I think I might fish it out of some bargain bin..

I like being able to check on your residents... but the station manager picking up trash? :lol:
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman
