Welcome to the StarTopia playable demo!
To run the demo, double-click on the StarTopia Demo icon handily placed on your desktop.
Be sure to work through the tutorials before diving into the game -- apart from teaching you
how to play, they also contain some extra sneak peeks of features from the full game, including combat
and our unique BioDeck!
System Requirements
The minimum system required to play StarTopia:
- 350mhz Intel® Pentium™ or compatible processor
- 64mb memory
- 3D accelerator video card
- a mouse!
You will need to turn the detail options down if you have a "minimum spec" machine. Note that a fast graphics card, especially one with "Hardware T&L", can help make up for a slow processor. The following items are recommended, but not essential:
- a 3-button (or "wheel") mouse
- a sound card
- a supply of drinks and snacks, for when you look up from the computer screen and realise how much time has passed and how hungry and thirst you are...
Technical Tips
We recommend you close all other applications before playing StarTopia. This includes email applications, instant messengers, virus-checkers, file-servers and all those other applications people tend to have sitting in their System Tray next to the clock.
Virus-checkers in particular will often try to scan every file that is part of StarTopia while you're trying to play the game, which slows everything down dreadfully; if you like, run your virus-scanner across StarTopia before playing, then, when you're happy with it, turn it off before playing.
Please please please make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card installed!
If you are low on disk space, freeing some up and defragmenting your hard disk may help make the game smoother.
Uninstalling
To remove the demo from your hard drive, simply drag the Startopia folder you installed into the trashcan.
Share & enjoy!
