You control the treasury, agriculture, industry, housing, education, hospitals and military. You allocate funds to create revenue and improve life on your island. If your decisions are wise and the people are happy, you rack up points. If not, rebels begin to infiltrate your paradise. Chances are, you'll find that running a country is every bit as complicated as it seems.

Rickster8 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 My First Utopia Entry: Not a bad 1st run. I avoided the deadly hurricane and the pirate ships only crushed one of my fishing boats. All in all a decent run to start. ?

I used to play this game against one of my friends when I was young and really enjoyed it, despite the fact that he used to deliberately sink all my fishing boats with his pt boats! I can't remember how to play it at all now though so will need to refresh my memory. Great game though - a real classic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezkc Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) My first go at this. Thought I did pretty well, and avoided any disasters/shipwrecks, but still some way off Rick's score!

gar0u Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I tore this one apart last season. I think the round/time settings were different. Definitely got to get at least one play in--one of my all time favorite Intellivision games for sure! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gezkc Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) A bit of an improvement for me but not cracked 2000 points yet.
