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 costs only $2 which is about what ius worth. The important function of loading immigrantgs on the Europe Screen does not work! you have to use a click drag function with the mouse which stupid and works with gaming mouses which are very expensive. The graphics are poor which is expected because the game was made 20 years ago.
Why not have a game called "Happy Holocaust" ?!? Colonization itself, in reality is responsible for the largest holocaust on the planet, ever. Would you think it rude for people to barge into your house while you and your family are enjoying dinner or whatever? How would you like it if they killed most of your family in front of you and took over your house and kept you locked in a small hall closet feeding you the scraps of food they didn't want.... if they felt like it...? This is a very simplified example of real colonization, I hope it helps some understand teh reality for Native people better.
As far as having a game about this, well colonists still cannot bring themselves to admit what they've done YET they will point a blood stained finger at germany and hitler for their holocaust which was horrible but only a fraction of the size of the american holocaust which by the way is still continuing. I wonder if they include owning slaves in this game and shipping them over from africa/other places lined up like sardines so they could sell as many as possible. Why not make a nazi concentration camp game? Would that be offensive? SO IS THIS GAME.
