I have the old 1994 col game (came in an old Strategy pack I got), and I think it works on DOSBox... i'll have to try running it at home.
I'll probably grab a new PC Gamer magazine also

Nooooo!!! I'm working on an article that explains Colonization to people who've never played the original, but if everyone actually starts playing it now I just wasted a lot of my precious time...

Don't worry, plenty of people will ignore it and need the explanation anyway If nothing else, i'll read it and argue about it on MSN if it makes you feel better...

The old Colonization works with DosBox (the DOS option,
of course).

Ok, it comes with the DOS version, plus DOSBOX is installed for you (v0.72 for those who know/care about that). I'm about a third of the way through a game right now ... works like a charm, sound, everything - and it has a 3x size which works very well on my monitor!<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

As a clarification, realize I didn't answer this: Thanks to the time-travelling magic of the magazine industry, I have a copy of the September PC Gamer, which is the one with the Colonization DVD in it.

Would the new version of the old game work with Vista?-->Visit CGN!

Presumably ... it's running in DOSBox, so it's not really running "in" Vista.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.
