Description: With memorable sound effects by Russ Lieblich. Utopia is the kind of game Intellivision excelled with because of it’s hand controllers. While most any Atari fan will blow chow at the mere mention of an Intellivision controller, games like Utopia were simply far too sophisticated for a system with a stick and a button.
Easter eggs: On the right island, there is a two-by-three rectangle at the upper left. Just to the right of this block is a one-square bottleneck with water directly above and below it. Sail a boat (fishing or PT) as if to sail directly into this bottleneck, and “push” against the resisting sandbar until you're as far as you can go. Dock (press 0), then move the cursor towards the land until the minimum needed to control the boat is within the cursor, and select the boat again. You should be able to sail directly over the land and come out on the other side.

Santulli Slant: Another game (like Fortune Builder) that seemed to inspire the 20th century classic, Sim City. Play diplomatically against your opponent and out-prosper him with economics and balanced growth, or just bash 'em by sinking his puny fishing boats. A game everyone can enjoy.
