Docking Station is 2 decades old this year, and the entire series has been around since the mid 90s (I started playing it myself in ~1998), yet somehow still has an active and passionate modding community. The game series was by far the most advanced artificial life simulation of its time, and I'd argue that it still is. The cut-through world they live in is unique, to me it reminds me a little bit of Jim Henson's works, a little bit Star Trek, Discworld, and a whole lot of its own charms. How rare for a game to nurture skills in nurturing, teaching, biology, IT, art, design, and countless other paths that those that played it have journeyed down.

For years it's been a challenge for new and old players to pick up the game on new operating systems, and this Steam release makes it so the game is playable right 'out of the box' for the first time in years. You'll still want to install some of the many amazing mods being added all the time (and enjoy the annual Creatures Community Spirit Festival that's currently running!), but if you just wanted to play the game as it is when you download it from Steam, you can do that too.

@Karithina

I don't needed to tweak much things, only to make it compatible with an older version of windows, to work properly (if I remember correctly). On the disk, itself, I don't know if it was included with it, or it come from one of the addons, that I keep in USB keys, who add an no-disk function, but once installed I don't need to use it anymore.

But the installation was weird... to say the less: blue background with white writings for the installation. I know it was the norm, back then, but it was such different from modern games XD

@SkaarSmashKikou I can't speak from experience on that because I've never tried physical Exodus, just the physical C3 I have. I'd guess that it probably runs better than that, I'd hope anyway. How well does you physical copy run, do you have to tweak much to get it to work?

@Karithina

Older than that. I have an physical copy of Exodus, that I find, literaly in the middle of nowhere, in the early (or mid?) 2000's.

@SkaarSmashKikou Is your Exodus version from GoG? I found this ran better out of the box than the GoG version, though I'd still recommend applying fix mods etc.

As someone who still have the Exodus version of the game, do this one run better, than my older version?
