Game description:

You are the king of an as yet un-named European nation during 1602 AD. Your job is to build up the colony, and turn your small nation into a trading powerhouse.

You'll have to start small, and build up the colony, growing food and water supplies for your people. From there, you must build up the industry, create trade agreements with neighbours, and create armies (just in case an agreement falls through).

There are 15 scenarios in total (6 in the European release, and an added 9 for the US version), each with different tasks to perform to build up your nation, and crush your opponents. Free play is more like a SimCity game, where you go about building your land as much, and as long as you want. Finally, multiplayer options allows you to fight it out with your pals.


What I have to say:

Such a great classic..with one of THE best (PC) game soundtracks EVER !!!

This game and its franchise is insanely popular in Germany (where it is called Anno 1602 and the franchise simply "Anno"), but that's no wonder...this game was made by Germans in Germany. :p

(NOTE: I forgot to uncheck "No cursor" in FRAPS, that's why you can't see a cursor in this video...sorry.)
