That's a dyslexic "oops". I was seeing it as "125" rather than "215".
Which decade has the most Civfanatics?

'83 here. I remember playing Civ I in early elementary school with all the cheats- I had no idea how anything in the game worked, I just liked buying all the buildings/wonders/units...
Over the years I still pull it out occasionally for nostalgia (it's a lot more fun to play when you know what things do and you don't cheat).

1972. Started with Civ II in '97. Then SMAC. Lots and lots of SMAC. Big gap till I picked up Civ4 for £5 in a supermarket.
Impressed with the 11 CFCers born in the 30s though. Respect.

1960 here, remember being 31yrs old and playing CIV on amiga, loading the 4 discs, the sheer joy of creating a civilization, the long wait for the loading screen to end.
Now almost 54yrs old- civ B.E on a laptop and still the long wait for the loading screen, and now I can create a civ on a new world.

That is a fun fact. But then I was wondering how this poll got to the CivBE forums. So I went back a page...
Thanks Camikaze!

I would be impressed if a five year old went to the Internet, typed in civfanatics.com, registered, and voted in this poll...

Really surprised to see there are folks born in the '30s playing Civ! That's awesome
EDIT: I'm three days younger than the original Civ
That means I've literally never lived in a world without the civilization series.

It moves around from subforum to subforum and can lie deeply buried and dormant for months until it is found and rejuvenated.I've been on this site since late 2005, and this is the first time I spotted this poll?
When Civ 1 came out, it attracted an aging group of strategy board gamers who were old enough and rich enough to jump right into PC gaming during the eighties. Civ 1 was a huge hit with many of them. Those that stuck with it came here when Civ 3 came out.Really surprised to see there are folks born in the '30s playing Civ! That's awesome

There's actually a really good likelyhood that a chunk of the people that voted 10 years ago on this thread that were born in the 30's & 40's may no longer be with us.
Spoiler :
It is time to move this thread to civ 6!
Some threads are eternally interesting.
