Where incense makes people just as happy as wine does (must be a special blend)
And last of all...
Where people can play for hours on end, and publicly whine about it for many more hours.
Well thank you Matt, I'm flattered you even remember me! I realized I was spending more time here at CFC than actually playing the game, so I gave up Civ for a while and started playing The Sims. Man, I thought Civ3 was boring at times, but The Sims takes the cake for being utterly pointless (and their web forum is crap compared to CFC). So here I am again.
Meanwhile, some other possible wordage for your Civ III box;
Sid Meier's* Civilization III:
- The beta version of Civ IV. We only call it Civ III because that's the number of patches it took to get it anywhere near right -
System Requirements:
Minimum: 2GHz Pentium 4 with 512Mb RAM and 40GB hard drive.
Recommended: 25GHz Pentium 7, 4096Mb RAM, 180GB hard drive plus Empire Earth fully installed so you have something to do in between turns.
*Sid Meier content completely fictional and only listed for marketing purposes. Resemblance to any persons called Sid Meier whether living or dead is, like, purely coincidental.
