Description

You are a Space Marshall, investigating a distress call from the colony Delta 5-5.

As you approach the planet, your ship comes in contact with a gravity well, and crash-lands. The landing drained your ship of all but minimal power, stranding you.

After putting on your Power Armor, navigating the planet's surface and stepping into the Colony itself, you must uncover what has happened to the colonists, restore power to your ship, and, optionally, rescue the colonist's children.

Trivia

Setting your computer's date to December 25th causes all of the potted plants in the game to turn into Christmas trees.

Plot elements in the Colony were most noteably influenced by the movie Aliens, and some areas and items in the game are based on the movies 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Fly, and the old vectorgame Battlezone.
