I used to play this game on Commodore 64 in 1986, the graphics was, when compared the games of its era, fantastic, musics, the best I have heard in Commodore, the world you play in was real world with real and living cities. When you are in a town you can ask the bartender in an inn to get the latest news. Sometimes about a gold vein found in a city, which leads population and wealth boom. Sometimes femine hits a city. Sometimes countries goes to war. and sometimes they make peace. Cities can be captured by enemy countries during the war, you can also help your nation capture towns by raiding them. And ofcourse you can slowly climb the ranks of your choosen countries navvy, gaining land and reputaiton on the way. And with luck you can marry the daughter of the mayor. There are two fleets of Spaniards, Tressure Fleet and Silver Train. If you know in which date in which city they will be in you can track them down for extra gold and the best in game ship, galleon. All in 64kb Ram. This is a classic, may be the best game of Sid Meier.
