Is it still worth playing?
MicroProse's 1994 strategy game for MS-DOS, designed by Brian Reynolds and Sid Meier, about the European colonization of the New World from 1492 to 1850. You lead the colonial forces of England, France, the Netherlands or Spain. Colonists work the land for resources, which can be processed into commodities and sold in Europe at fluctuating prices, and colonists come in several types and can be educated into specialists. Missionaries can convert Indigenous settlements to Christianity. Liberty Bells bring Founding Fathers, and once enough Sons of Liberty are present you can declare independence, after which you have to defeat the King's army. Colonists you can train into specialists, and prices in Europe that keep moving, still turn every colony into a small economy to tune on the road to independence.
