About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Utopia: The Creation of a Nation (often referred to as simply Utopia) is a real-time strategy game set in the far future across various distant planets. The goal of the game is to create a colony, build it up by collecting resources and creating new structures, raising armies to take down enemy forces (unique to each planet and each scenario) and reaching a sufficiently high quality of life to achieve "Utopia" status. At which point, the player has cleared the scenario and can move onto the next.</p><p>The game is highly reminiscent of both Maxis's <a href="/simcity/3030-15035/" data-ref-id="3030-15035">SimCity</a> and Bullfrog's <a href="/populous/3030-6210/" data-ref-id="3030-6210">Populous</a>. It borrows many of the former's elements in its construction elements, such as having a series of advisers to tell the player where they should focus, and borrows the latter's isometric viewpoint and GUI.</p><p>The game was originally released on the Atari ST, Amiga and DOS in 1991. It later received a Super Nintendo port, which was published in the US by Jaleco, by Epic/Sony Records in Japan and by Konami in Europe. This port is one of a handful of Super Nintendo games to use the <a href="/snes-mouse/3000-19/" data-ref-id="3000-19">SNES Mouse</a>. The computer versions received an expansion data disk named Utopia: The New Worlds, sold separately.</p>
