I haven't played Outpost 2 since I was 10 (or so, and I'm 24 now), and I still remember it very well. I'm glad that others do too. It's such an intelligent game. I wish they made more games like it today.
The closest to it I ever saw again was Earth 2150, which also involves building a spaceship using minerals to escape a doomed planet. I'm tempted to think that, between the focus on resource mining and warfare that that game also has, its developers played Outpost 2 first. :op2:
