I do not know at this current time.

Yes, it does use color, it also works fine in Black and White.

The Basic point of the game, is to take over as many planets as
you can by colonizing the planets nearby, and also to terraform
the planets into a profitable position to further exploration into
space.  Of course, there are a few things that might hinder you.
For instance, money wise, you will have to allocate some funds to
make ships, and to mine for metals needed for ships, and to spend
money on the Technology you need to use for expansion, like speed,
range, mini (Miniturization of technology to reduce the use of
metals) and the weapons and shields to defend yourself against the
computer and the other players who wish to do harm upon yourself.
The game is a timed-based system, where you can control the time
ranging from when you end a turn to waiting until possibly next
week to next month for the next turn.  If you are a teacher, it
would be an idea game to have when dealing with simulations.

As far as I can tell, there does not seem to be any form of Copy
Protection on it.
