Sid Meier's Colonization
Description
Discover the New World and fulfill your Manifest Destiny!
The New World lies before you with all its peril, promise, and infinite possibility: your colonists anxiously follow you to shore and the treasures of an entire continent await you. But beware of your enemies! Angry natives and rival powers can encroach upon your territory. You'll have to overcome your foes with superior military strategy and wily diplomacy. Only then can you launch your revolution and declare your independence.
Players control either English, French, Dutch, or Spanish colonists in the New World. This New World can be the historically accurate Americas (North and South) or a randomly generated world with varying resources and challenges. Overseeing economic, military, and political growth, you strive to establish independence from the mother country while competing with other colonies for control of the New World.
Plant a foothold in the New World and establish your independence in Sid Meier’s Colonization!

Masterful
I've bought this game 3 times over now. I still have the original box and floppy disks, bought it again as some Sid Meier's CD ROM pack and now again on GOG. And it's worth it, every single time. It's one of my favourite strategy games of all time, because you have to manage politics, military, economics and exploration. Even with the dated graphics, it's extremely immersive and the music really adds to the atmosphere. Another Sid Meier great.

Buy, try, enjoy forever!
Just a few words. It`s the best strategy game ever! I play it every few months since 1995 when i have played it for the first time. Don`t look at graphics, it`s not important. You will find here one of the hardest and most enjoyable challenges in any strategy game Highly recommended, few bucks well spent.

Aged pretty well
I played this game in my teens and was animated to learn more about American history. Gameplay, music and art-style were good and aged pretty well, too. One of my all time favourites!
