Description of Discovery: In the Steps of Columbus

Offering strategy in a world of historical battle (specific/exact), naval, turn-based, Discovery: In the Steps of Columbus is an abandonware developed by Golden Sector and published by Impressions. Released in 1992, you wander around in a top-down perspective.


Veteran wargamer M. Evan Brooks said it all in his synopsis of the game: "The 500th Anniversary of Columbus was PIC (politically incorrect). The movies, televisions, books quickly became major "busts". This game was no different -- slow, dull, user unfriendly. If this showed Columbus in a positive light, it is a wonder he ever secured the wherewithal to head an expedition." Enough (dis)recommendation, methinks [EG]. Too bad the engine used in Merchant Colony was only marginally improved for this utterly boring game. Go play Sid Meier's Colonization for Windows instead if you're a fan of the period.
