play the original? or the Civ IV spinoff? or Imperialism I (or Imperialism II)? I did play the original Colonization a bit as a kid but concerned how the DOSBox version (GOG version) runs

I play the bloatmod for Civ4Col (WTP).

You forgot to add FreeCol. All three games you mentioned are good. Play them all.

thanks I got the original Colonization on GoG just tonight along with Imperialism II (people seem split on liking Imperialism I vs II more but I like the idea of going to the New World). trying to tweak my DosBOX settings though, the text is a bit hard to read but maybe that's just the font? anyway I'm tired of these newer 4X and turn based games and looking forward to getting into some older ones (big fan of MoO 1 and 2)

I would say try original first then IV mod. Both are good, but you'll appreciate the IV mod more if you try original. Original is also simply sovlful.

Oh and Imperialism I and II are the same concept. Both good and I find it hard to go back to I, but I wish some of I's stuff had made it into II.

Definitely don't play the civ4 spinoff since it's utter dogshit. Imperialism games are significantly different in a sense of colo being a classic 4x while imps are proper gsg games with diplomacy and such.Also it's a pretty good idea to build cities on those ore patches or pre-plowed land. Worker independant free resources and early ore into early tools is really nice to have before specialists come online.

Definitely go for the original col. The gog version runs like a dream.

The scoring screen for the original Colonization is such pure soul
