Colonization
Colonization is a great old game,I grew up playing it.It is the sort of game you will never get bored of.It is the unlimitedness of it each time you start a new game it is a new scenario, pick different nations England, Spain , The Netherlands or France and set out to conquor the new world. Fight or befriend indians. Trade with or invade rival European colonys. Harvest the resources of the new world and assign tradesmen to transform them into expensive comodities or weapons to defend your people. Turn petty criminals into hardy pionners with time and hard work. Consult your advisors in planning your route head and win your freedom from the hardship of European taxation. The game is in the sae format as civilization but in my opinion is far better.

This Sid Meier classic is not severely underrated but certainly deserves as much acclaim as his classic Civilization for the novel design and refreshing emphasis on colony development as opposed to military might like Civil War games of yore. Use various specialist units to build and strengthen your colony through trade with Great Britain and native Indians before declaring independence for the final war for freedom. This rare Windows version of the game is already patched for Windows 95, and features sharper graphics and AI than the original DOS release.
