Civ3 was the last version I bought. I don't remember why I didn't buy any after that. Maybe the game went 3D? Or maybe real-life things cut down on my computer gaming.
SMAC was one of my favorite games back in the day. I don't know if it will run on my Win 10 computer. I wish it was available on Steam, where I have bought several games including Civ 3. I don't feel comfortable with GOG. No real reason; I'm just reluctant to give credit card information or...
Well, I was unable to get my old Civ 3 CD to work in my new Win 10 computer, so I bought the Steam version. I don't really like Steam, but I have a couple of games through them [no choice], and I noticed that I still had about $2.50 in my Steam wallet. So, I spent the extra 2-3 dollars and...
