Seven Cities of Gold
Created by Dani Bunten, the
Seven Cities of Gold was a massive hit. It is an early
Electronic Arts computer game. First released on the
Apple II in
1984 then on the
Amiga 1000 in
1985, you play the role of a
conquistador. You must buy ships, food and men for your expedition. Then you get to sail out to the new world, meet natives, trade with them and fight them. You can also build caches and forts. The gameplay is excellent. The graphics were way ahead of their time. The game was re-released in
1993 for
DOS.
