In The Seven Cities of Gold you take on the role of Christopher Columbus and later the Spanish conquistadors, exploring the New World or a randomly generated map. You establish forts and missions, return gold to Spain, and earn promotions from the Queen. The vast game world invites exploration, while arcade sequences portray encounters with natives where language barriers play a key role. The historical map of 1492 accurately places the indigenous peoples of the New World, letting you decide whether to gain the riches of the Aztecs and Incas through trade or conquest.
