Free Conquest and Colonization of America is a remake of a fantastic
old game from Microprose called Colonization. Those who have played
Civilization will find the game style very similar. In Civilization, the
game time goes from pre-history to the future, but in Free Conquest and
Colonization of America, all action happens during the exploration age,
from 1492 to 1800. The goal of the game is to build a colony in America
and make this colony grow big enough to be able to achieve independence
from the motherland. A player can choose among the English, French,
Dutch, and Spanish nations, each having its own qualities and problems.
During colonization, the player will face many challenges, such as
negotiating (and making war, if necessary) with other European colonies
and native tribes. Winning the hearts of the colonists (by making they
feel that the colony is their home) is the key to getting enough support
to fight for independence. Allowing religious freedom in your colony
will attract more colonists persecuted for their faith in Europe.

ski is a game in which you ski down an infinite slope,
facing such hazards as trees, ice, bare ground, and the
man-eating Yeti. Since you have put your jet-powered
skis on backwards, you can't see ahead where you are
going; only behind where you have been. However, you
can turn to either side, jump or hop through the air,
teleport through hyperspace, launch nuclear ICBMs, and
cast spells to call the Fire Demon. And since the hazards
occur in patches, you can skillfully outmaneuver them. A
fun and very silly game that proves you don't need fancy
graphical user interfaces to have a good time.
