Col had the best early phase of any civ type game I've ever played. I often go back to it and play the first 100 years or so, after a bit though I get bored again, all the freight moving etc gets too annoying.

I played MoM pretty recently (last month), and Colonization last year.

They were great game in their time.

Music was also dinamic (advantage of MIDI format).
If you go to war, you get a battle songs.

On the other hand in Civ3 in modern time, if you are in war, you are forced to listen some music totaly inapropriate for a war time.

Loved listening to the MIDI music. Funny thing though. My old 486 with a SB 16 sounded much better than my recent computer with the sounds and MIDI of old games. So sadly, I must play with the sound off, as it is actually annoying on my newer system. But with the advent of this forum, and my replaying of the game, I am getting all nostalgic about the beautiful music when I was playing it on my 486.

Definitely beats Civ 3 music. There's no mood music at all (except in Diplomacy screens), and I have my modern armour rolling in listening to Kenny G.

I still have a DOS bootable 200 Mb 2nd partition on my 98SE PC (BootMagic coming with PartitionMagic by PowerQuest makes it as simple as a menu to choose from when you boot the PC, besdies all that "Magic" that is quite in theme!), solely for the purpose of playing MoM (and Machiavelli) without meddling with DOS-pifs under 98.
I still find it more entertaining than SinglePlayer SMAC

Alas I never saw Colonization, and never found it in any bargain bin.

I played some AoW demo, it was pretty interesting and the closest I met as MoM sequel. But when I resolved to buy it as it became cheaper, I don't know why it lacked that something that could have driven me to study all the racial and creatures differences enough to allow me enjoy a complete and in depth experience with it...
