I've only watched the intro of this game, I never tried to play it.
Review
I have never played this game for more than a couple minutes, and, since I haven't heard many positive reviews about it, I doubt I'll ever try to beat it.

Box Art
The box art features a Victorian woman and man gazing at the Red Planet through a port hole of the ship. The woman's face is a bit jacked, but the painting is really good and makes great use of colors. I also like the lettering.
Documentation
Like most Origin titles, the game had a wealth of interesting manuals and maps to pore over.
