Free Colonization CD with PC Gamer magazine or so it seems...

[Bromley]

Sorry, should have been clearer. The "version of Colonization that comes with the PC gamer demo disc is a custom install of DOSBox". I could download dosbox and try to get my floppies working (or d/l the DOS version if that failed), but I keep seeing tantalising glimpses of how the one on the magazines' demo discs were no hassle and ran well.

I tried the win version but no music and a crash in the first hour put me off.

I don't know that they ever did actually release it officially. You could try an email to Firaxis customer support, but I'm guessing that fell through for one reason or another (but perhaps someone just forgot?).
