A 2014 digital release of the 1993 remake of the 1984 classic!

Seven Cities of Gold: Commemorative Edition, a robust classic historical sim/strategy game about the expeditions to the New World, is available for only $5.99 on GOG.com.

As a fledgling 15th century explorer you have been given a mandate by the Spanish Crown to set sail for the New World and establish new settlements for the fortune and glory of Spain. You will have complete control over every aspect of your expedition - from the initial provisioning of your voyage, to the construction of forts and missions on newly discovered continents. Key to your survival will be how you interact with the native population of the New World - negotiate with a tribe’s Chief to establish peaceful trade ties or wipe out entire villages and plunder their resources.

Seven Cities of Gold: Commemorative Edition lets you step into the role of Christopher Columbus and chart a course to an unknown world of discovery, exploration, and conquest! The Commemorative Edition of Seven Cities of Gold is a remake of the 1984 classic, featuring enhanced graphics and sound. Choose to explore a historically accurate map of the Americas in the 15th century or a randomly generated New World. Hire men for your journey and equip your ship with food, animals, arms, and other items for trading. Command a series of daring expeditions to the New World - take control of mapping uncharted wilderness, building far-flung outposts, and establishing trade relations with over 8 different indigenous tribes.

Fill up your coffers as you trade, loot, or mine your way to new resources and treasures in Seven Cities of Gold: Commemorative Edition, for only $5.99 on GOG.com!

The GOG.com crew would like to heartily thank our user IAmSinistar for making this release possible! This is yet another game that made its way into our classic catalog with the help of our fantastic community.
Nice to see another old game join the catalogue.Thanks for your efforts IAmSinistar!

Fever_Discordia: Well, for some weird reason Gobiins came here via dotemu rather than Activision and AFAIK dotemu were selling the Gobiins games on their DD site before bringing it here, they don't appear to have Woodruf - maybe you'd do better to ask them what the dealy is?
Was more of a general question really, I already own Woodruff on disc so I'm settled. But it's an awesome game (at least in french, I don't know the quality of the translations), so it should be here.

Crosmando: Nice

GOG now has the only two computer games ever made in a "Conquistador" setting (as far as I know), this and Expeditions: Conquistador
Here is another one http://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_colonization well not really but you can play as the Spanish in the new world.
Yay, Sinistar!
Thank you IAmSinistar!
Unknown game for me, but congrats to Sinistar for the help!

Now, go to Dysney and bring back Lucasarts :P
Great game, excellent addition to the old games catalogue, happy to see this popular older game.

And once again will plug 'Sword of Aragon' which would make a great addition to GoG!

You should offer him a job in the GOG team . He deserve it .
I remember the original C-64 version being fun but lacking depth. I've never played the remake and have no idea what, if anything, was changed. Hopefully it wasn't "twitchified" (the original was real time, but not really a test of reflexes).
That's at least 2 games I know of that IAmSinister has helped find the rights holders for, if you include Heretic Kingdoms.

I wonder what else he has up his sleeve :)

YES! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I played this game on Commodore 64 for weeks (and weeks and weeks) and never got tired of it. Each game is different. I love this game! :D
