Review By Graham Empson
This is an expansion of the original Colonization released in 1994 and is available only on CD-ROM with a price tag of £35.99. This was hailed as the successor to the famous, some say infamous Civilization, and starts in 1500AD ending around the end of the 18th century. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grab as much land and possessions as you can in America. The additional available features permit you to explore history with the power of multimedia, digital movies, pictures and sound, and enhanced graphics. Now translated that reads 'added goodies of an encyclopedia with moving pictures, sound tracks, digitized pictures and the now standard SVGA ( Super Visual Graphics Adapter) pictures. Just for good measure there is also an official strategy guide written by Bruce Shelley which gives you the inside information on Sid Meier's version of world conquest which retails at £18.49. I think they call this merchandising a success! More Reviews
