abstract	Imperialism is a now freely-downloadable turn-based strategy game for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh computers, developed by Frog City Software and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. ("SSI") in 1997. In Imperialism, the player is the ruler of a 19th-century Great Power (one of seven), and aims to become ruler of the world by conquest or by vote, taking advantage of the Industrial Revolution while moving to world dominance. Imperialism runs in Windows 95 compatibility mode (making a more modern version of Windows a little difficult to read if the game is still open in another window). Random maps do not represent the real world, and most of the territory names are made up. Multiplayer or single player against computer nations. The combination of hexagonal tiles and "Minor Nations" suggests that the game may have been one of the inspirations for Civ5; players of the latter may try this game and see what else is familiar. Free to download from FreeGameEmpire, and its numerous help screens are fairly easy to find and probably explain most of what you want to know once you have read them all. The game appears to have been very well thought out (though one might wonder when starting the tutorial game and seeing that various technologies shown with dates in the 1820s were all allegedly purchased in 1815; the dates such as "Spinning Jenny 1828" could be for historical interest, in which case that one, at least, is misleading).
