Title: General consensus proves to be true yet again *sigh*
Product review: I bought this game because of the recommendation provided by John Harrison, the reviewer who wrote in on March 13, 2000. While it has proven to be fun, there are a few drawbacks to this game. Chief among them is that after a few hours of play, I find my colony running out of money frequently & cannot figure out how to resolve the situation. Secondly, the manual is way too vague on how to increase the workload and production levels of workshops which lag behind (that's what the "question-mark" symbol means). If the programmers at Infogrames could resolve these two issues in the next edition (or a sequel, perhaps?) they would have a sure winner on their hands! As it stands now, though, these two difficulties make an otherwise great game unnecessarily complex.
