This game is simply the best and most original title of all the strategy and colonization games. I still play it today. The graphics is really well done compered to other games of the time, although the map alignment could be better. The 2D view makes the gameplay simple, no fancy images to confuse you. It will provide not hours, days, but years of fun, who plays it. For the first time in a startegy game, you can even replay what you've done. Strongly, strongly recommended for all the civilization fans, and it is a great practice before the other titles of the sequel. Maybe you won't even need the sequels. The music is not so fancy, but fits the game great. Don't expect much from the sounds, but the game was meant to be enjoyable withouot them as well. Won't run on newer computers easily, but there's a windows version of the game and it's worth trying!
