Unnecessary convoluted
UI is nice looking but don't give enough information, not sharing resources between island is frustrating

Anno 1602 A.D.
Description
A Whole New World!
It is the year 1602 and you find yourself in command of a sailing vessel, navigating the waters of the uncharted island world of Anker. You have aboard your ship no more than an handful of trusty followers and a limited supply of food and building materials. You are here to begin a new life. As you select which island to settle, your future is already sealed, for each one has its own special characteristics.
Your goal is to create a whole new world. Explore, construct, settle, trade and defend - that is the challenge that lies before you!
ANNO 1602 A.D. takes you into the world of construction strategy games. Build a realistic, living world for yourself according to your own ideas; your chosen strategy will decide the development and destiny of your towns and villages. Prove your diplomatic skills in your dealings with natives, your comrades and pirates too. Start by building up farms, plantations and small workshops to produce, then use your business acumen and begin to generate trade with your fellow players.
But beware, for with riches and prosperity also comes envy and anger! Train soldiers and build defensive structures to protect your property and wealth, or perhaps it may be wise to put your negotiation skills to use outside of business?
So as you can see, there's plenty to do in the world of ANNO 1602 A.D. - exactly what is for you to decide.
ANNO 1602 A.D. includes Anno 1602: Creation of a New World and its expansion Anno 1602: New Islands, New Adventures.

Like the good old days.
After tinkering for a while with my old CD version the most astonishing thing is probably that this download version simply works out of the box. I installed it on Win 7 64bit and it started right-away without hassle. There seems to be an instability related to going back to the menu screen from a game. When generating several new maps in quick succession I frequently experienced random crashes to desktop (about every 3-5 minutes sometimes in the game, sometimes in the menu). But once I had found a suitable map I restarted the game and played multiple hours each across several sittings without a single technical problem. Side-note: I did disable the video clips and tried to avoid using the pause function (since it's a video clip itself) to speed up the game and avoid potential instabilities. And I had to adjust mouse sensitivity to match the new screen resolution. Gameplay- and content-wise it's unchanged from the original German-language CD version, which is one of my all-time favourite games. The download is the so called Königs-Edition, i.e. the base game with the expansion (NINA / Neue Inseln Neue Abenteuer) already installed and patched to the latest version. If you're looking to recapture a long-lost strategy gem from the past, you will be very happy with your purchase.

Works flawless on Windows 8
I still have to CD of this game from like 1998 but had trouble getting it to run. After installing many fixes and patches I got it to run without crushing but had to disable the music. But honestly the music is 50% of the game experience. I saw the game on here and thought I'd give it a try. I'm surprised to say that, but it works perfectly on Windows 8.1! The game of course is a classic that I loved back when it was released and it's still awesome today! By far my favorite of the Anno series.
