Ascendancy - Rare PC Game

You are looking at computer game Ascendancy.

Do you have the skills, patience, and know-how to develop your own planet? A simulation title in the bold tradition of games like Sim City and Sim Earth, this game challenges you to colonize an entire globe dealing with travel to and from the planet, atmospheric conditions, and much more. Unlike similar games that take place on Earth, Ascendancy forces you to deal with the unfortunate realities of deadly alien species, interstellar technology, and more. It's your planet; what are you going to do with it?

Ascendancy is similar to, but nevertheless very different from, Master of Orion. You play one of many races, each with a special ability and special character traits, who set off to explore space, erect colonies (which can each have individual purposes, depending on their raw materials) and engage in battles when you clash with others who have the same goals. Weapons on the ships use power, which has to be supplied somehow.

This game introduces many original concepts, such as the Research Tree - a special scientific display in which discoveries are depicted as icons connected by lines to the "parent" technological breakthroughs and "child" ones, similar to the technology advances in Civilization, but presented in a much more visual way.

Features:
* Hours of gameplay.
* Tons of elements.
* Cool graphics.
* Alien species.

This rare game is a bit old, so may require compatibility mode, virtual PC, or an older PC to run.
