Support Apolyton The gamers magazine PC Gamers has an interesting bonus that comes with next months's package : the old 1994 Colonization game.

I'll probably grab a new PC Gamer magazine also Zealot King London, UK Jun 2000 time: 03:55 18-07-2008 16:54 edit | quote #3 | report | Re: Free Colonization CD with PC Gamer magazine or so it seems...

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... snoopy369 Technical Assistant Of the Peanuts Gallery Apr 2004 time: 21:55 18-07-2008 22:00 edit | quote #5 | report | Support Apolyton buy from Amazon 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... fed1943 Emperor Dec 2005 time: 03:55 19-07-2008 10:50 | www edit | quote #6 | report | Support Apolyton buy from Amazon The old Colonization works with DosBox (the DOS option, of course). Best regards, snoopy369 Technical Assistant Of the Peanuts Gallery Apr 2004 time: 21:55 20-07-2008 03:55 edit | quote #7 | report | Suffering from ads? It definitely comes with the mag ... have my copy of the mag now (haven't read it yet, but will soon!) snoopy369 Technical Assistant Of the Peanuts Gallery Apr 2004 time: 21:55 20-07-2008 16:57 edit | quote #8 | report | Inflate your Upload Space 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!

DarkCloud Civ3 Stories Editor, AoN Co-Executive Producer Deity of Lists Jul 2000 time: 03:55 22-07-2008 19:57 edit | quote #16 | report | Put an end to popups! Hm. Random question then- I still have the original colonization game- I couldn't get it to run in XP, will it run in Vista? I might dig it out to see about that... snoopy369 Technical Assistant Of the Peanuts Gallery Apr 2004 time: 21:55 22-07-2008 22:03 edit | quote #17 | report | Get a bigger avatar today! You just need to get it to work with Dos Box: http://www.dosbox.com/ If I remember when I get home, i'll post the shortcut that runs it - it's a specific setup so that the game is the right size and such.

I'd never heard of that before. I'll check it out. 2K_jason 2KG Producer Oct 2006 time: 03:55 23-07-2008 17:14 edit | quote #19 | report | Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win The version of Colonization that comes with the PC gamer demo disc is a custom install of DOSBox. 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.
