Screen Shots |
Utopia is one of those games that defines Intellivision.
The gentle shhhuuusshhh of the rain on your crops. The gonnngg
of your fishing fleet feeding the folk. Sim City / Civilization aren't really
too much of a stretch from this game! We found the eggs in this game long before
the web offered easy pickings for such things. (You know, sailing around the
edge of the screen...) This game just rocks as a head-to-head strategy
game. Even as a one-player game!
