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!

COLONIZATION
Memory said this was a great game, and it could have been. All it needed was little effort towards balance. Real diplomacy with the natives instead of Genocide. Maybe use the entire map instead of putting everyone 8 squares apart. So close and so Bad.

THE Game
This is the game I have spent most time playing hands down! Absolutly loved it in 1994 and still do. Can be played over and over. I still play my 1994 copy on DOS-box.

A True Classic
One of my favorite games of the 90's. Engaging and random early game keeps you coming back to colonize the america's again and again. Ignore the graphics, turn based strategy doesn't get much better than this. Thank you Sid Meir!

I Love IT!
It's one of my favourite games....i really love it! I've got an important question: in this version, after the declaration of independence and the war, the game ends or I can continue after the end of war? thanks
