My local computer game store. Several years ago. Sadly, it seems as though the game may be 'out-of-print' now.
I keep hearing rumors of a "Sim System" or "SimVerse" game which will be an expansion of this game of an order of magnitude or more, letting you build an entire solar system from scratch using the latest knowledge of planetary formation, ('hot Jupiters', eccentric orbits, co-orbital planets, etc) and then seeding life on various planets (a la the Preservers?) and seeing how it evolves. Carbon based life, Silicon based life, Helium based life on cold planets, "jovian" life on gas giants... etc.
Me, I'd love to build a system with two co-orbital M-Class worlds, put intelligent life on one of them, and see how they take to spaceflight.

Brandon: a guy on the "Bouncin' Billy Bates" gave me a cracked copy of the game a few years ago (there'sa major copy protection on it), but I gotta go dig it out. As I remember it was small enough to fit on 1 or 2 disks. If I can unearth it from the Well of Souls that all my disks seem to slip away to, I'll post a note here for takers.

I'd like to create five M-class planets in a trojan orbit, and see them warring each other! Or a class-M world in orbit of a 'super-Jupiter' (those planets from Mjup>2 which they discover regularly), that would also be nice, I think. And now I think of it: a class-M in an '8'-shaped orbit around a binary star.

Masao... I felt exactly the same way about reading "The Martians" but once I slipped into it, It all comes flooding back like Coyote's memory...
There's some good stuff in there... Do you think Hiroko is still alive??

Riker-yes, but you can see Lake Armstrong from here.
Ok this might not be the real dialogue but there is a Lake on the Moon. Might be the only one on the other hand it might be one of hundreds (if the Moon is big enough) 24th century did in fact terraform a little bit of the Moon so it is possible.
