I disagree to what a previous netter said about 7 Cities of Gold. This,
Archon, and the terrible "One-On-One Basketball" were the first Amiga games
out. I loved 7 Cities; it had such a "you are there" feeling to it, I really
felt like I was lost in another world. The random terrain generator helped
keep the game very fresh. I loved the music as well - the horn theme was
great. I thought the graphics were fine; but if you look past this, you'll
find a game that has Tremendous staying power.
