Civ III, definitely. Though I voted for CivRev for the lulz.
do you really think everyone would love and play civ5 if it was a clone of civ1?Considering that Civilization arrived in 1991, I think people would be hard-pressed getting what was a DOS-only game (in it's first iteration) working on Windows 7 (or even XP).

I understand what you mean.
As for me, I do not see any sence in valuing things in the relative way. I think its obvious that civ5 is more funnier and interesting game than civ1. civ1 even have no multiplayer, and no modability, graphics are crap, what we are talking here about? do you think gameplay or AI were better in civ1? or diplomacy?
nobody will play it nowdays, and it is no way better than civ5, only relatively maybe (by market share percent? i am also not sure about this).
not sure about this.No, but for sentimental value, Civ 1 wins. The AI in Civ 1 was better than the AI currently in Civ V.
the fact that at times of civ1 other games were even worse than civ1 (so people were amazed by what a great game it was) does not make it better game than civ5 IMHO.
Absolutely true. And a truly sad commentary on Civ5. They made a better game running in 640K on a 8088. And it ran faster too. Sad. Really sad.Emprorer+1 civ1 is harder than civ5 deity too by a huge margin.
Although in absolute terms you are right, the fact stays that Civ1 was one of the main founding fathers of a whole genre and the founding for a whole series.
Furthermore, you have to take into consideration that technical restrictions limited the game and that today any new game in that genre can look back at 20 years of history and experience.
Since 10 years there is even the internet, giving the option to get feedback in a way which was not event thought of in 1991.
I would assume that many people did have this (more or less explicitly) in mind when giving their vote.
<snip> Civ V is probably worse than Civ Rev, as Rev was for DS while V for proper PC and adult gamers...
ah well... whatever, the fact that I voted Rev, does not mean I like V though
