Would run better on a 386

I used to play the original game on a potato when it first came out, but this version barely runs on my iPad Pro. Why does the music skip? Apple devices were originally designed to play music, why can’t this app can’t play the game music right? Just a terribly inefficient port, should have remade the game instead. The app is just betting on the nostalgia factor and they at got that part right, as I miss playing this game on my old potato, coz it ran better!
You can’t move diagonal.
unique nicknames are dumb
There’s really no point in playing the game if you can’t move diagonal. I’m an old man and don’t know how to request a refund, but I guess I spent three bucks on a port that doesn’t allow a basic function of the game.
Excellent game then and still is now.. great depth, mechanics and advancement..

highly rate this, if you work out the controls. its exactly the same game as originally released.. so if you want a manual, go online and search for the original pdf players guide.
GREAT game, GUI needs optimization

I first have to say, this game is great. It is the full glory of 1994 Colonization. The game is playable, but very tedious with the in-game inlay user interface of the keyboard. It just covers too much of the game when you enable it. I hope the developers read my comment and the following suggestions. 1) please add Bluetooth keyboard support!!! I bought a nice sleek compact Bluetooth keyboard that had a numerical pad (so I can move my units with ease and DIAGONAL 8-) 2) if the keyboard GUI could have a transparency setting. It would be nice so I can see through the GUI and still play because honestly most of the game can be played with the keyboard rather than mouse. Conclusion: This game is worth the few bucks for your nostalgia. It is tedious to play in its current format but it is fun when you play it here and there like when waiting in line or on friends to ready.
It’s exactly the old pc game

So yeah controls (specially moving) can be a nuisance. That being said you need to use all the short cut keys won the keyboard provided to make it more streamlined. How to load unload stuff from ship to port or port to ship. Hover over the crate space and click “u” for unload or “L” to load items into it. It could use improvement in the moving, maybe an option that doesn’t require you to use the mouse, i mean come on developers it’s an app, i appreciate it being just like old one but there’s room for improvement given the new format. I used to play this game so it’s nostalgia for me, a new player may not enjoy it as much or would have a more difficult time figuring out the controls
I love this game but...

1. The AI is flawed, there are some inherent bugs from the original game(dos) with the number of units(you get maxed out) and also with battles(you win or lose depending on the turn). If these were fixed it would be wonderful. 2. The controllers are very difficult for iphone or ipad. This would be an easy fix, but to no avail from the developer.
Does not work

Can't get the crates to load on the boat. Very disappointed. Very poor port to iOS from the version back in the day.

Runs slow. Difficult to navigate. Horrible graphics. I would never recommend this. Tried playing it twice and I give up. Too bad there are n refunds. Trina is a scam that they even sell this game on App Store.
