I only just finished playing the original Colonization last month (I play it about once a year). I love the civilisation series but for some reason I probably enjoy Colonization better, I guess it is the town management and production/trade aspect.

Anyway, I hadn't heard about FreeCol before and it looks to be a very good effort. I'll definitely take a look at it, but, I find nostalgia usually gets the best of me and none of these remakes ever seem to scratch the itch like the originals.

I'm with you on the series. I've got Colonization up there with the original Alpha Centauri.

Colonization and SMAC are in my best-of as well. Incidentally, I've found that Stellaris really scratches the SMAC itch.
