Colonization (again)
There was a Windows-based version, but even that was probably no later
than 1995. -- Paul 'Charts Fan' Hyett |

Colonization (again)
It originally came on just 4 floppy discs IIRC, so if you *can* find it
online, it won't be much strain to download, even on dial-up.  Yes. I've never liked real-time strategy games - I prefer time to plan. -- Paul 'Charts Fan' Hyett |

OT : Colonization (again)
Maybe I should dig up the game..?
I too have found that sometimes a manual contains information ;-) I used to love Colonization but since I like to play in a "developing" mode I too soon run into the maximum number of pieces. One would think that this should be easy to fix. There was also stability problems, I do not know how it is under XP. Being a complete addict of civ3 (don't like 4) I particularly like the teaching requirement in Colonization. One doesn't become a professional without learning skills from someone who knows... -- Kaj |

Yes, colonization was a good game but it needed some debugging!

Yes, that was a regular problem.
Also, in the later stages, you can make money faster than you can possibly spend it, especially if you can't buy new ships because of the maximum piece limit. Wasn't there an upper limit as to how much gold the program could handle, too? A number of times when I found an Indian village with a useful skill, the Spanish wiped them out before I could learn it... -- Paul 'Charts Fan' Hyett |

Debugging always introduces new problems. But AFAIK there is only one
wersion of Col. Why? Hmm, how is col. under XP?. Newer tried. -- Kaj (I do have testicles and a Y-chromosome, my name is pronounced like "Chi"). |

That's not true - I have 2 versions :
2.25 dated 15/9/94 & 3.00 dated 7/2/95 The main difference seems to be the latter has a map editor. -- Paul 'Charts Fan' Hyett |
