Just like I remembered it.
I bought this back in my early twenties with fond memories of the first version. It was significantly easier, but the mission to create colonies, missions, and forts gave you something to strive for. After not playing it in years, it was fun to briefly come back to.

Played this as a kid, a lot has changed
I can't believe I found this game. I played this as a wee teenage back when PCs used to come with a bunch of demo CDs. Yeah it's dated but at the time this was an amazing game with what seamed like an endless world.

Not very good - even back then
I grew up in the 80s and played on all the system from back then - Atari 2600, NES, TRS-80, ZX Spectrum, CoCo, MSX. So I really have no prejudice against old games or games with primitive graphics. 7 Cities of Gold is one of those games I always wanted to play back in the day but, for many reasons, ended up not being able to play. So when I saw it here, it was an easy decision to buy it and give it a try. What a disappointment! I can see why this game could have been considered special back in the day given the big world size (for 80s standards, that is), but this is NOT a fun game. I love exploration games like Starflight and Pirates!, but Seven Cities has very poor mechanics. For instance, the manual doesn't tell you how many priests/soldiers you need for each type of settlement so you need to guess. You can find this out by taking very tedious steps (and then write it down), but this guesswork is an unfun part of the game mechanics. A similar aspect that takes the same unfun guesswork is figuring out how much your new world goods are worth. Combat is also poorly introduced in the game. I actually beat the main goals without killing a single indian because it's just easier to do it this way. Bottom line, this game is a train wreck, even for back in the day, and it was a huge disappointment. If you like the sailing theme, skip this one and go straight to Pirates! (the Sega Genesis and Amiga versions, not the broken Pirates Gold one).
