@David – Glad I could be of service and pleased to hear you like the site, you’ve got a great nostalgic gaming blog yourself!

@Richard – I’ve yet to write up a full review for this game after getting it, however in a sense I’m pleased that I’m not the only one who had problems with the easiest level of difficulty on Colonization – I’ve only played it through once so far, but I didn’t even end up declaring independence until 1 turn before the timer ran out on winning the game.

It’s a tough game indeed, you either can’t afford to waste a single turn or they need to adjust the difficulty settings in a patch update.

I may be 67 but that gives me some right to speak my mind. It also means I have seen developments since the 8 finger entry needed for the Spectrum 64.

This game – Colonization – is hugely disappointing. I rate myself as an experienced strategy/sim type player but I defy anyone to win this. No matter how hard one tries, or how early one can get to a Revolution point, even on the easiest level, one is then faced with an army of great size and several man of war ships which I have yet to find how to build. My Ships of the Line try hard but fail miserably.

Either I have finally gone dementiared, quite possible, or Firaxis have this hopelessly wrong. Sad, as I love these games.

Sid Meier’s Civilization games are a cornerstone in any strategy genre fans collection. I actually had no idea this game was being released and look forward to trying it out.

Great blog BTW I’m glad I found it through Blog Catalog!

Another great thing about the Colonization re-make is that it seems to have happened fairly quietly – I was shocked to see that it’s released this Friday – I’ve now got my pre-order in and will be playing it over the weekend!

The multiplayer aspect should be a nice new feature, presumably it will work much like the Civilization 4 multiplayer.

Some of the first PC games I ever played were Sid Meier games: Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire. Man, I lost track long ago and counting the number of hour I played those games. Having played, and still playing actually, Anno 1701 recently, I''m curious to see what Colonization is going to be like. Great article! P.S.: If you could add my blog banter to the list of participants that would be great! CrazyKinuxs last blog post..Blog Banter #8: The modern re-make of a game

Colonization, eh?

I played that game a teeny bit on the PC. I’m not to keen on strategy games these days.. but I did dabble in my fair share.. Advance Wars, Final Fantasy Tactics….

That’s a cool game to remake I guess. Online multi-player would have to be a must, of course – is it in the game?
