Amazon Book and Video Game Website - check for 'Colonization'. I also recommend 'Civilization II', 'Conflicts in Civilization', 'Fantastic Worlds', 'Civilization Gold', 'Alpha Centauri', Sid Meier's 'Master of Orion 2', 'Railroad Tycoon', 'Risk II', 'Imperialism', and 'Axis and Allies'.
Don't buy Jewel Case CD's as you won't get the all important manual.
'Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization' - a new edition of the game. |

Fantastic Worlds - has 20 more scenarios including Atlantis with a new volcano feature that destroys cities. Plus scenario control language which includes a 'no talk' feature.
Civilization Gold - has all scenarios from Conflicts in Civilization and Fantastic Worlds. Plus 'no talk' feature to allow total war scenarios.
Alpha Centauri -
not as good as Civilization or Colonization but worth a try. Based on the Civilization II Space Ship landing on this close star and breaking into 7 factions like the UN, the Hive (Chinese), Environmentalists, Spartans (war minded faction) etc...
Search for it on Amazon.
Sid Meier's Master of Orion 2:
Battle at Antares W95/98 Jewel Case CD
Play one of 13 alien races with different characteristics. Settle, develop and terraform planets; build a space fleet; research and trade technologies. Only disadvantage offence is a lot greater than defence meaning star systems are undependable in later stages of the game.

Sid Meiers Railroad Tycoon -
An old game but a good one. Start by building a Railroad between two Stations. Build two or three trains to pick up Passengers, Mail, and Manufactured Goods for example. Has industries which require Coal and Steel to make Manufactured Goods. If not in one of your Stations you can buy a Steel Mill for example. Has four Maps: England, Eastern United States, Europe, and Western United States. Build famous named Trains such as the Orient Express: London to Constantinople, or the Twentieth Century Limited: New York to Chicago.
Start with $500,000 dollars raised from share holders, and a $500,000 dollar bond which requires interest paying on it. Has economic climates from Boom to Panic. Build into a city and receive 10,000 shares worth of Capital. Set game speed to medium as this game was made for a much slower computer. Revenues come in every time a train arrives at a station. Buy the game with manual and resource cards as there are other things to learn.
