Help identifying a game (Old Amiga game)

SeantheMan

Can anyone help here

It was a strategy game based on Asteroids, (Story was the world had been blown up, and humanity had settled on different asteroids) you had to mine minerals and build up a colony. After a while aliens would attack and you'd have to defend, you could also scout where the aliens were and mount attacks on them........sound familiar ?

Sounds like Star Control.

Sounds like K240 actually.

Actually, while we're at this I have one. Strategy game for - I think the Amiga. I remember little of the gameplay aside from it being a strategy of sorts, but the box-art had this 70s airbrushed sci-fi vibe and that the story was set in a fantasy world when colonies of people lived inside the bones and skeletons of long-dead gigantic creatures.

If only they did an updated version for modern consoles/gaming rigs. Would be such an incredible game.

As was already suggested, sounds like K240.

Was remade / sequalised for PC a few years later as Fragile Allegiance, which is up on GOG if you're feeling nostalgic.

Galaxy on Fire 2 works well on a nexus 7 tablet or ipad. I think there's a PC version now as well on steam but it's a dumbed-down version of frontier to be honest which might suit tablets but could be too simplistic on a PC.

Fragile Allegiance is still available? I freaking loved that game. Oh, why is payday so far away?

Could it be Supremacy ???

SeantheMan

We've already established it was K240

Ooops my bad sorry, although Supremacy was pretty damn good too
