Ubisoft is currently offering free copies of Anno 1602 to everyone in order to celebrate its 20th anniversary (the game was released on September 24th, 1998, so technically it’s more than 20 years but still).
PC gamers can go ahead and claim their free copy from this link. Do note that you can claim you free key until December 23rd at 01:00 GMT + 2 (or December 22nd 23:00 GMT).
Anno 1602 is a construction and management game developed by Max Design that was set in the early modern period. The game requires the player to build colonies on small islands and manage resources, exploration, diplomacy and trade. The game also implemented a ‘progressive’ artificial intelligence, meaning that the pace of the game changes in response to how quickly players act.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Ubisoft store ???? lol no thanks
Ha ha ha .. wait, why are we laughing?
UBI SOFT is the joke lol
Now that’s funny.
They are trying hard to get people on their store. 60% off on the Far Cry games. Even FC5 and it’s only been out around 9 months.
Steam Winter Sale is coming in 4 days. If it’s a good one then I will be buying some games there.
All time classic. The last true Anno was 1503. The franchise took a down hill turn after that with Ubishit coming into the picture as a publisher..
Ubisoft hatin’ dumb squad at it again. Thanks for the game, Ubisoft, got it.
Ubisoft’s dumb shilling squad at work. Thanks for your cooperation.
Is this uplay version of the game compatible with modern systems, like the gog version?
Or just the latest retail from 1999, digitalized, like the publishers do it with most of their retro games?
It says on their store that it is compatible with any OS from XP to Win 10. From the other requirements it looks like it will run on just about anything.
Just asking, because the GoG version got optimized code (direct draw support etc) which eliminates some annoying graphical glitches, bugs and ctd’s on modern (>winxp) systems.
I dont think the uplay edition got this kind of treatment.
Only working for the US. Nevermind :p
