I remember many late nights playing Civ on my Amiga 500.
List the Civ games you've played. Here are mine,
Civ2
Civ3
CivCTP
Civ4 with all exp
I still remember the computer I played my first Civ2 game on... Pentium166MMX with 32MB of RAM.
Oh no, my friend. I remember buying my first 486 to play Civ 1 on. I'd gotten addicted on my roommate's computer my freshman year of college.
Funny story, back in the old days without DRM, the game used to ask you to enter some fact from the manual every so often. Turns out the version I'd had on my roommate's computer was cracked and I never knew it. So I'd ignored these queries without any effect. But during my first game with my legitimately purchased copy on the new computer I'd bought (supposedly for school but really to play Civ) when I blew off the question, all my armies defected.
Ah, good times.
So, my list:
Civ 1 Win
Civ 2
CTP
SMAC
Civ 3 & all expansions
CTP 2
Civ 4 & all expansions (actually bought the core game twice...once for PC and recently again for the Mac version through Steam)
Civ 5 preorder (even though I don't have a PC...I'm putting a lot of faith in CrossOver right now)
I remember building mass Fanatic in Civ2. They were like the best units ever.
Oh, those little SOBS! I'd forgotten about them.
I loved the guerillas that spawned if you lost a city. They should bring those back.

I showed my Civilization manual to my wife just this weekend.
It's the 1994 version, not the '91, but still. I have it. Right over there.
I'm a little sad my ciV manual is digital, so I won't be able to show my kids that one when civX comes out.
I don't remember the processor of my first desktop, but I do know it had a 512MB Hard Drive.
512!! My phone has 16GB!
Civilization
Civilization II w/ expansions. I don't remember what they all where but wasn't one of the disks green?
Civilization III complete
Civilization IV + all expansions.
Civilization V (in about 8 hours)

Some Civ 1 at the pc of a friend's dad.
Civ 2-4 with all expansions.
Col (only the new one) and CivCity too.
CTP 1+2 and SMAC.
Strangely my most intense memories of gaming with Civ were the times with Call to Power 2 until Civ 4 was released.
It got so many techs, with aquatic and space cities, eco-nanobombs... was very funny all in all ;D
Only older title I installed of the series after Civ IV again once in a while was SMAC.
Still....

giving me chills
I remember the biiiig manual Civ2 came with. Spend many evenings reading in it while in bed xD
My first desktop was an 386, and my first Civ computer was a 166Pentium... but still...
512 MB HD...? There were times people would call you crazy if your HD had more than 20 MB. "WHICH PROGRAM SHOULD EEEVER NEED MORE MEMORY THAN THIS?!"
When I started gaming at the pc, though, it was already the time of 1,44 Mb discs.

I started with Civ I as a young teenager. I've played Civ 2, SMAC, Colonization, Civ 3 and Civ 4. I only played the expansions for the last two games. I briefly tried CTP but it did nothing for me.

civ III (Which actually put me off civ for awhile...then I went back to civ II)

Eventually civ V too.

Civ 1 inspired me to study world history, probably a lot of other players did too.
Rise of Nations Thrones and Powers I include in the list because Brian Reynolds who was developer on Civ 2 at MicroProse was senior developer on RoN at Big Huge Games. And other Sid Meier games.

Guess I was a bit late as Civ 3 was one of the first computer games I ever played. Being an idiot, I bought beyond the sword before the original game, realized it was an expansion, and then bought civ 3 off EBAY for about a dollar. First civ I ever played as was the azect for some wierd reason, and I was confused as heck on how to acquire resources.
