    Hey,

    I'm looking for help finding an old PS1/PS2 moon colony/base game. I remember playing it but not it's name. I remember it to be a kind of Sims/Theme Hospital but on the moon.

    I've searched online myself, trawled through Wikipedia's entire lists of PS1 & 2 games to no avail.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    No, I'm pretty sure there were only humans in the game. Definitely no combat either. Thanks for the reply though, that game doesn't look half bad!

    No I'm fairly certain there were no aliens or combat, and it looked a bit better than that!

    I'll have to keep searching. Maybe turn this whole thing into a movie!

    Thanks for the replies.

    Thanks but no, it was on a much more personal level, like more focus on a few people rather than thousands.

    This sounds like I'm messing or something but it's one of those "movie moments" but sadly IMDb can't help me here!

    No it wasn't that, it was on PS1 if I remember correctly, defo wasn't pc. and Was again, an even smaller scale than an entire city. Much closer perspective!

    OP I had that game too and I can't remember what it is! Very similar to Theme Hospital, you had to set up a colony in space and manage your money and resources.

    In fact, was it called Space Colony??

    Thanks so much dude, the only way to scratch a nostalgic itch is to play the old game, and this was wrecking my head!

    Thanks again! :D
