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!
Play either the French, English, Dutch, or Spanish colonial powers, each with distinct characteristics and political situations.
Customize your games and choose your own level of difficulty so you never play the same game twice.
Designed by Sid Meier, who brought you Alpha Centauri and Civilization!

This game would be number 1 on my top 10 game list. It's a great strategy game that's easy to learn and fun to play. Most of all, no 2 games are the same, so you can play it over and over. Scenario's are fully customize-able, and it even has an editor. It can be a bit finicky on newer systems, but I've always managed to get it to run satisfactorily.
Decent gameplay which has aged surprisingly well, gorgeous pixel graphics but a bit of a romanticising take on the topic.
Nonetheless, I had some fun playing it :)
Either this or Transport Tycoon. I received it as a 14th birthday present, and I must have played it for days on end. I loved the history of it, the graphics, the strategy. Hopefully you will too.
Great gameplay - I've played this a TON, maybe more than any other game on the PC. I even like this original version more than the updated game based on the Civ IV engine.
Great soundtrack (although after 7 or 8 ours of non-stop play it does get a little repetitive, LOL).
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
