Anyone remember this game?

Watching the dust trailer reminded me of a game I played a long ways back. It was a space sim/adventure and you needed different parts/upgrades for your ship but couldn't produce them yourself. You had to rely on different planets to produce them but none of them had the technology you needed. Luckily your ship had the ability to travel through time so you go back in history give them technology that would nudge them in the right direction and then time travel into the future to see what they had accomplished. I think if you made the wrong decision, they would end up destroying themselves in a war or dying out and you would have to go back in time and try again. Sound familiar to anyone?

No, but that sounds frigging awesome.

No, Chronomaster was a standard point-n-click adventure game featuring pocket universes.

The game he's thinking about is Millienia: Altered Destinies.

I don't know why, but this makes me want to play Reunion.

HA! That's too funny...I owned that game but never was able to figure it out...I was pretty young at the time.

Coincidentally, I was trying to get that to go with DOSBox the other day and couldn't. :(

And Reunion reminds me of Alien Legacy.

Yeah that's it guess my memory was a little foggy about the details.

It seems you only go back in time once in this game, but going back and forth sounds like an interesting concept. I have no idea how you'd program something like that, but think about a game where you went back in time, made some changes, then went forward in time and saw the results. I doubt it would be possible, though, as the simulation would be astonishingly complex to plot out.

M:AD was brutally hard at times. You'd make one minor change, and 100 years later things would be completely FUBAR.

That's what I remember I think you had to do specific things at only one point in history ect. Im not sure I ever finished it.

Other than time travel, this sounds a lot like what I had hoped would take place in Spore's space stage before it got changed into a Playschool toy...
