"The year is 1602 and your future at home is uncertain. A small band of courageous explorers have decided to set sail and begin a new life and seek their fortune in far off lands. As their leader it is your mission to explore never-seen before coasts, establish new settlements and use diplomacy, trade and sometimes battle to ensure the survival of your new colony."

To me this game is great in many aspects, though not in total perfection. "Your fortune is uncertain..." for Americans this surely was the truth. Our Pilgrim fathers set forth for new shores and unexplored lands because indeed their "future was uncertain" in the land from whence they came. Liberty and justice was at peril, and the right to live and worship endangered. So, they set forth on an epic voyage to a new land to establish for themselves a new world. A world of freedom and prosperity, a land where they would raise up a nation, a nation unlike any other, the United States of America.



Though this game is not a re-creation, nor
re-enactment of that noble and sacred journey of English colonists, this program glows in the shadow of history.
