Was that due to programming restrictions, or did they just think people
couldn't do that well?

It's like some of the classic arcade games such as Asteroids & Defender
- the programmers underestimated how good some people could get at them,
so set the maximum limit on the score counter too low.

Of course, watching such people always produced a lot of envy - seeing
them breeze effortlessly through levels I could never hope to reach...

IIRC another Sid Meyer game, Railroad Tycoon, also had a restriction on how
much cash you could make.

I loved that one too!

I used to make one *really really* long line, then just run fast
passenger & mail trains.

You start off massively insolvent, but soon you'd make money like a
lottery winner, especially through stock market manipulation.

This may be one, though it's not so much a tip, as an undocumented
feature :

Well, be sure to let us know!

I still like Colonization, and still play the occasional game. My real
problem is that I seldom finish the game because in the long run its
stability problems become annoying (exp. since I have to reboot in Dos
mode - from Win 98) to play.

downloaded an play it. Is it a turn-based game?

You should try a dos emulator,
DOSBox is a good one at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

I can run it in a DOS window on ME, though without sound.
