Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 21 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Sid Meier's Colonization (the MS-DOS one, yeah the real one not the other dlc crap) is an absolute banger and easily some of the best stuff that ever came out of that era. This thing looks simple, sounds simple… and then suddenly you’re completely hooked micromanaging colonies like your life depends on it. Trading, building, dealing with natives, screwing over Europe—it just keeps stacking systems on you and somehow none of it feels boring. It’s got that classic “just one more turn” curse where you sit down for 20 minutes and next thing you know you lost your entire afternoon like an idiot. No fancy graphics, no modern QoL, just pure gameplay carrying the whole thing. Straight up one of the best MS-DOS games ever made. No discussion. 11/10, still hits harder than most modern strategy games.
Major Bawbbawbins Boocraft vibes from this one.

One more turn... and it's 2am
different each time
Oldie but goodie. I've always liked the simplicity of the game. It is challenging but not so much so that it isn't fun to play. Can't go wrong with a classic.
Oldie but Goldie. This game is the very meaning of nostalgia. I recommend.
Very interesting resource mechanic system.
Sid Meier’s Colonization is a nostalgic cornerstone of strategy gaming that still holds up better than you’d expect. After Pirates! on the NES, this was my first real dive into Sid Meier’s world - discovered with friends on a school computer where we’d lose hours before, during, and after classes. It’s the game that defines my nostalgia for the Civilization-style experience as a whole. Coming back to it now has been a genuine joy. Yes, it’s dated, but not in a way that makes it frustrating or inaccessible - its systems are still clear enough for modern players to grasp without too much trouble. That said, without the nostalgia factor, newcomers will likely gravitate toward the more modern Civilization games. For me, though, this classic remains a warm, time-traveling trip back to the computer lab days.
Love the game have played for years it is dated with its graphics and movements but if you have children a nice safe game for them to get to grips with old style gaming.
Toujours aussi génial en terme de game play. Le sujet est très sensible en revanche, d'où l'absence de vraie reprise de ce thème en 4X. Je pose une question en anglais : How to use the famous cheat code on DOS BOX : ALT + W, I, N It is a part of the game, althoughts it's cheating !
