What Space Colony is
Space Colony is a simulator game developed by Firefly Studios and released in 2003. It was published by Gathering of Developers. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It carries an ESRB T age rating.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Space Colony is a strategy game with two basic levels of management. On one level you have to manage a futuristic base, while on the other you have to manage the relationships between the crew members who inhabit the base. It clearly draws inspiration from Maxis' popular life-simulator The Sims (just take a look at the box cover), as well as from management games like RollerCoaster Tycoon, SimGolf, and FireFly's own Stronghold series. Though it has no multiplayer, the game does offer a great deal of content in the form of a comprehensive single-player campaign, a series of skirmish missions, and an open-ended sandbox mode. Plus, there's a map editor you can use to create your own levels…
