Years ago my cousin had a computer and I did not. Overnights at his house were often spent by me bogarting it to play this and Daggerfall. This game is even more engaging now than it was then. Greater than the sum of its parts, Colonization is subtly quite deep. Getting a bunch of automated trade routes going in order to shuffle resources throughout your colonies is a satisfying example of the self-sufficiency that is the purpose of this game. Having a single colony attempt to produce everything is much more difficult than having a handful of colonies, each with their own specialty. Do you have access to tobacco? A small colony that only makes cigars can be much more profitable than you would think. Indeed, there is an intense economic sim aspect of this game. It's awesome, until the silver market collapses. This game runs flawlessly on Windows 11, the graphics have circled all the way around to in vogue again, and the soundtrack is so good. Colonization frequently goes on sale for very few $$$. Jump on it! You won't be disappointed.
Finally a game which shows respect to the great age of european exploration. And fixes the issue so many strategy games have where the end game becomes a foregone conclusion or takes too much grinding to reach. You can go to the endgame any time you want, and all you have to do is survive, then retake your cities. Brilliant design.
