How to Obtain Civ1

I've been thinking about trying civ1, but I can barely find a way to obtain it legally. I could download it from an abandonware site, but that would be blatant theft, since it hasn't been released as freeware. It's not on gog or steam. I could maybe find a hard copy online but those are few and far between. What should I do?

Well, if it's the choice between obtaining it legally or illegally, it should be a no brainer even if it's more difficult and expensive to get it legally.

Check ebay or Amazon. Or play one of the many clones which have been created.
