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!
  • 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!

One of my favorites of all time.

No matter what platform you play this game on, it's truly awesome in every way. You can spend decades learning all the nuances of the game and yet never truly master it.

This Game has Stood the Test of Time

**Sid Meier's Colonization: A Timeless Masterpiece** I've been playing Sid Meier's Colonization since its release in the 1990s, and it remains one of my all-time favorite games. The gameplay is as engaging and addictive as ever, and the strategic depth is unparalleled. The game's pacing is perfect, and the balance between exploration, diplomacy, and warfare is expertly crafted. The soundtrack is another highlight. The MIDI music is iconic and adds a nostalgic charm to the experience. It perfectly captures the spirit of the era and complements the gameplay beautifully. While the graphics may not be state-of-the-art by today's standards, they still hold up remarkably well. The game's art style is timeless, and the visuals are clear and easy to understand. Despite numerous attempts to remake or reimagine Colonization, the original still reigns supreme. The developers nailed the formula, and the game's simplicity and elegance are its greatest strengths. I've lost countless hours to this game over the years, and I still find myself drawn back to it time and time again. There's just something about that "one more turn" mentality that keeps me coming back for more.
