Discovery: In the Steps of Columbus

Discovery: In the Steps of Columbus puts you in control of a European power seeking to build colonies and extract wealth from the New World. Economic failure means game over, while four opponents create additional pressure.

The game begins with a map hidden by fog. Players send ships to explore, establish settlements, and seek locations with valuable local resources. Five additional scenarios provide further settings for exploration.

Settlements, soldiers, and ships are represented with blocky, characterful graphics. The experience is focused on management and strategy, with a patient pace and controls described as fiddly. Developed by Golden Sector Design and published by Impressions Games for Amiga and Commodore Amiga.
