It's a cool colonisation themed managerial strategy game. When I was trying to find out the game's name in the forum, people seemed interested yet unaware of the game. It also goes by the name Exploration (two names probably have to do with multiple markets the game was sold in).

It was published by a Microprose subsidiary - Interactive magic, I would say no later than 1996-ish.

The game absolutely cannot be bought, at least not the ways I tried to find it. Please add it to abandonia!

If this gets approval, I'll upload a CloneCD image (with covers) made from retail source. Size is ~200 Mb.

Exploration (Voyages of Discovery or Cristoph Kolumbus) [APPROVED]

I just realized I have already uploaded this!
Anyway, it's almost finished and this time it's made from retail source. The other one is listed as Exploration @ ISO Cellar.

Is there any possibility of getting Voyages of Discovery added to the site? It was released back in 1994/1995 but it is much easier to find the German edition (Christoph Kolumbus) than the UK/European edition (Voyages of Discovery).

There is a US version released with the name Exploration but subsequent releases (which were on CD) had modifications to the game engine such as the ability to choose specific maps rather than being them randomised, ships started with certain goods on board and some cannons, etc. These were not features of the original game.

There are copies of the original version of Voyages of Discovery kicking around on the internet but all of them have problems with the cursor not showing when you attempt to play. I assume this is because it is a bad rip and not because of a bug in the original game.

There was an approved topic but the last update was a long time ago and I don't really want to bump it to the top of the list. Topic for reference:

Anyway, I hope someone can help. Finding an original copy of the original Voyages of Discovery as it was released for the PC in the European market would be amazing.
