About Sid Meier's Colonization (Classic)

Sid Meier's Colonization (Classic) is a turn-based strategy game originally developed by MicroProse in 1994 and published on Steam by Atari with Nightdive Studios. Steam release date: 9 October 2014.

Sid Meier's Colonization puts you in charge of a European expedition to the New World from 1492. You lead English, French, Spanish or Dutch colonists, found settlements, turn raw goods such as furs, tobacco and sugar into trade, and grow a colonial economy. Diplomacy and trade with native nations matter as much as expansion, and rival powers compete for land. As your colonies grow, taxes from the Crown rise, and the final goal is to declare independence and defend it against the royal army. This is the original classic, with its period pixel art and turn-based depth intact.
