New Horizons is a 1994 simulation game for the Sega Mega Drive that tasks players with managing a developing colony on a distant planet. The main objective is to build and expand a self-sustaining settlement by balancing resources, infrastructure, and population needs. Players must carefully plan construction, allocate workers, and research new technologies to ensure the colony's survival and growth.
The game offers a steady pace, encouraging strategic thinking rather than fast reflexes. A unique mechanic in New Horizons is the dynamic environmental system, where changing planetary conditions affect resource availability and colony stability, requiring players to adapt their strategies continually. This mechanic adds depth and realism to the simulation experience.
Distinctive for its time, New Horizons combines city-building elements with survival challenges set in an extraterrestrial environment. This unusual idea of managing a futuristic colony on an alien world distinguishes it from typical terrestrial simulation games of the early 1990s.
