Sid Meier's Colonization

For some reason, I'm getting informed that Colonization is not compatible, despite GOG page saying it works. What's going on? Anyone else getting this? Or did I mess something? :)

Sid Meier's Colonization is one of the best strategy games ever. The mechanics are not difficult to understand. A classic.

Great old game, it stands the test of time and still comes out fresh. Best of all, the game files are all plain txt. Open them in windows notepad, and within minutes you are discovering lost titties, telling the King where to stuff his taxes, and other nations are demanding you withdraw your privates immediately. Hours of puerile fun.

Great game when fully set in. You can buy it here at gog.com or buy it cheap of Amazon. Nevertheless the key is Magic DosBox or just DosBox. The mouse can be finicy to dial in but when adjusted (dont forget to middleclick and use the wheel). -Voila! But the mechanics are wonderfully crafted and a 20 year dated eloge should be granted to the Microprose-game. Its their masterpiece the piece tha resistance in my meaning. Not to long to get in to but a couple of weeks to master. Not for the faint of hearted, but names.txt can be edited to mod it into a slightly less worrying matter. You think the slaves and the peasants are to costly? Edit their values in names.txt for a value more historically accurate. Surpassing many if not all strategy-games. Not because its graphics but because its game-mechanics and focusing on... Colonization...

My father bought my first PC second hand from a friend. The machine came with this game installed on it and I am playing it ever since. My first SM turned-based strategy game ever; as up until then I had experience only with real-time strategy games, it took me a while (like 20 new games over a period of a couple of months) to find out how that strange white and brown blop (the caravel, never recognized it as a ship until I managed to move it) move. But I never quit trying and once it occured to me that the keyboard might be somehow involved in putting commands in a computer, it was a love of (twenty-ish)first sight!
