In a PC long, long ago
I was deeply involved in this game before it came out. In fact, it has a history with the Webby's. Back when I wrote reviews for a now defunct game site called gamerscentral.net, this was one of the games that I reviewed along with many other strategy games of equal stature. I played this game before it went retail when the developers sent me a burned copy written with a sharpie on a CD! I still have that CD and I still love this game. It was back when SSI was putting out some decent strategy games. Well, what do you know. Gamerscentral.net won the Webby Award that year beating out every other game review site on the internet. That's saying something and I have a feeling that we owe a little of that to Imperialism. I'm sure there are some knocks one could give it for the combat structure which is not really interactive but the economic structure of this game is absolutely solid and the AI provides a pretty good challenge but it's not in the realm of impossibility as games like Dawn of Discovery are apt to be. Of course, the graphics are outdated but it's really a thinking man or woman's game so the graphics only help to drive the thinking that has to go behind the game. If you like challenges, pick it and Imp II which I also think is more polished but not necessarily that much better.
