From what I remember these were both released by Sierra. I played the demo for Outpost 2 once and got hooked. In outpost 2 I was wondering if there is any way to play a multiplayer type game with AIs, instead of colony builder.
[edit] I was just looking at the box for Outpost 2 and found it was developed by Dynamix, but published by Sierra.
I bought Outpost 1.5 about a year before I got Outpost 2, and was wondering if the original Outpost made by Sierra, or was it something published by Sierra, I didn’t get a box or manual with Outpost 1.5 it was just the CD and a case. -

(re: re: Outpost 1.5 and Outpost 2)
All I remember of Outpost was that the first release was probably the worst game (in terms of stability) to ever leave the doors of Sierra as ‘complete’. Not their usual standard and although it was later fixed, it took a long time and the games players had moved on somewhat. Dunno about #2 as I didn’t get interested in it!

(re: Outpost 1.5 and Outpost 2)
Actually, Outpost got a great review from I BELIEVE it was OMNI at the time. Now, saying that the problem with the original Outpost game was that it was too damn realistic which made the game boring in many senses and annoying in others. i.e. you spend five minutes picking and choosing the exact gear you wish to take with you….and with MY luck, I’d send out probes to stars that had NO inhabitable planets…..and whallah……game over before it even began! DOH!……….but once I actually FOUND a decent planet it got better and WAS a lot of fun.

I played outpost 1 when it first came out. Thought it was a lot
of fun and hooked me on the building sims that sierra made. I
loved all the city builders and am now following the old impressions
crew with the Tilted Mill group. They made children of the nile
and are hard at work making Ceasar IV for release later this
year.
