I actually played Outpost II before I played Outpost, and "a very odd and confused RTS with some good writing" is very apt. It was from that era when they'd put whole stories in. I can't recall how much was in the manual but the game itself had some novellas that unlocked as you played through which was amazing.

Outpost itself was kind of a disappointment after that, but still pretty enjoyable. And sadly nothing else has come as close as it did to scratching a very particular itch.

I just finished catching up again. Others pointed out the Starbucks reference. One other note is that the pushbutton puzzle has quite a few combinations. I counted 10 buttons, which means 1024 possibilities.
