FreeCol : Old Concepts, New Feature


This time I'll start with a game. It's called FreeCol.

It's a game- maybe a clone, but if i say it's a clone, it's an insult to this game- that is based on an old game called Colonization. Colonization is a very old game, designed by Micropose (maybe some of you know, some not). The object of this game is create colonies in the New World (America in the old days, very old days). First you only command 2 colonists and a ship (kind of ship depend on your advantage) . You have to build them wisely and finally declare independence fromyour former king. This is where you will fight to the better (or maybe bitter ) end.
It's a great game, it has decent graphic (don't even think about 3D, man). Great gameplay, and last but not least (this is the best part for me) it's a FREEWARE. Yes, you heard it, it's free. It's a project and it's still undergoing development. The last version is 0.8.0-alpha2 .
Oh, and one more thing, it's playable on Windows, Linux, and of course Mac. This is one of the good point of this game for me. If ou want to download it, go to www.freecol.org
