Since this is about nostalgia, let me tell you when I first heard about civ1.
I was about 10 years old. I still remember I was in the car and my father told me he had heard about a game that sounded awesome. It was called civilization, and it was about rewriting history. You could chose everything that happened in history to be different, and see what happens.
Of course, it wasn't exactly like that, but that's what he had heard. Some time later, in a friends house, he happened to have the game and he showed it to me. The whole screen black except a few tiles, a square unit moving a few, needing to press next turn.... I thought what the hell is this !
Then I tried it. Still remember I got Rome. having no idea about resources or anything I buit Rome on a tile surrounded by water except 1 tile, thinking that looked very defendible. I still remember 1 more thing about that very first game. After hours of playing, I discovered London, and it was level 11. OMG level 11, how is that even possible, I thought.
And since then, it became my favourite franchite up until today.
It's curious how I remember all this, when I was only 10.
