K240 is a real-time strategy video game published by Gremlin Graphics and released for the Amiga home computer in 1994. It is a sequel to the 1991 game Utopia: The Creation of a Nation.
Plot
[edit]Based in a sector of deep space called K240 in the year 2380, the game involves building space colonies on a cluster of asteroids and mining them for valuable ore, while fighting against several different races of hostile aliens with similar motives.
Reception
[edit]The game achieved a review score of 91% in CU Amiga.[1]
Legacy
[edit]K240 was succeeded by Fragile Allegiance, which is a PC remake of the game with improved graphics and user interface. Many of the buildings, ships, missiles, and game concepts are the same. However, the Human Empire is dissolved in a coup, and united with several alien races in a multiracial Federation. There are also gameplay differences resulting from ships being given limited range as well as espionage.
