Hi everybody, once I had a game that was called in German "Kolumbus". Since I cannot find it anymore I wanted to check the abandonware sites. Still, I could not find it. Here is my question: Is it possible to get the game here on this site? I would be really happy about it .

I should get this within two weeks. I'll check it and upload it to 4shared if it's OK.

There were three previous requests for this game, all approved. Not sure if anyone's reviewing it, though.

Edit: Merged all four requests into a single topic.

It's not Sid Maier's Colonization!

You start off with just a capitol city in one of the four to five playable colonial powers (England, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands) and everything else is uncharted. I think that the map is not realistic (I seem to remember thinking that this is a good thing since you didnt know where to explore).

There are two views: Capital view and Explore view.

In the Capital view you see a street with buildings in it which you click to enter, and a dock next to the street. If you click on a tavern you can recruit sailors or get some info from spies (sort of like High seas trader). There was this school or smt like that where you could opt for investing money into new ship or new weapon design, and eventually you would get it. You could also hire mercenary troops (soldiers which differ from sailing crew). If you click on a ship in dock you can fit her with cannons and stuff. This view is static and hand drawn.

The Explore view is isometric, semi birds-eye view. When you sail, you have to have water and food, or else your crew can get sick or mutiny or die. You can also get into rough seas or get some desease on the ship. The merceneries can be dispatched into new continets when you find them. There are several resources in the game: Gold, Silver, Tobaco, Cotton, Trinkets (which you can offer to indians). The colonies have limited storage space (which you expand by building warehouses) so you have to keep emptying them with your ships, and selling the stuff back home.

The game starts in 1492 (I think) ends at a specific year (not sure which one).

Please help me identify this game!

One more thing, by the graphics, I would put it in the 1994-1999 period, and it is NOT described already in abandonia (I checked all the strategy games, all the simulations, and all the "simmilar games" of games that are simmilar).
