Well, I sure would be glad if it happen. But don't keep your hopes up yet...

And BTW, I'd never consider playing a "Widozed" version of Colonization. If they work up the code to make "minor changes", they'll never simply stop there and will most probably end up breaking up the great balance already present in the game...

Where have you guys been? Colonization was ported to windows in 1995.

I bought Colonization for DOS in the early '90 and it never left my HD!

What I'd really want to know is whether this Windows version doesn't have a limitation on the number of units that can exist, like the DOS version has. Since Windows 3.x worked in protected mode there's no reason for that limitation to exist I guess; but it could be that they didn't redo the code enough and it's still there.

I know many won't have encountered this limitation even in the DOS version, since creating hundreds of units isn't the way this game was designed or is supposed to be played. But there are just so many successful games I can play before I look for more extreme challenges. :P

It would take a long time before a game reaches the point where you aren't allowed to create more units, and by that time it's a big letdown, so if someone knows please tell me.

It has an installer/uninstaller and should work perfectly with Vista/Windows 9x/XP.

We will be releasing it for free online in the near future.

What is the relationship of that site with the copyright owner?

"Doesn't work"? Details, please. Error messages?

Also: Did you try to d/l the game again? (The first d/l could be corrupt)
