I played this as a kid and loved it. Its 100% the exact same game. Ive played for 48 hours already. Build your colony, trade, protect your land. Its awesome! To move diagonally use the end, home, pg up and pg down buttons. Other key buttons L to load, U to unload, b to build, F to fortify, p to plow, r to make a road etc. you can double click to make some actions happen. By the way it does NOT freeze after the intros just give it a minute, it will load... Has not crashed once on me.
