    Returning to Civ3 after a number of years

    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.

    Welcome Thread

    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...

    Returning to Civ3 after a number of years

    Yes, "Civ 3 Complete" is what I have. So far, it runs with no problems.

    Returning to Civ3 after a number of years

    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...

    Civ 3, Windows Update KB3086255, & SafeDisc

I started thinking about Civ 3 a couple of nights ago while reading "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" by Jack Weatherford. So I decided to try to install it. This game might be a good distraction...

    Does Steam version of Civ 3 actually work in Win 10?

    I'm sorry, I don't know what GOG.com is, and I don't click on links that I see in forums. Is GOG.com a safe, legitimate site? EDIT: I looked up GOG, and I see that it's in Poland. That's too close to Russia for me. These days I don't feel safe giving credit card information to any Eastern...

    Does Steam version of Civ 3 actually work in Win 10?

    Hello. I bought a new Win 10 computer in January. I installed Civ 3 today on the C drive (not Program Files) and tried to get the game to run. It won't, no matter how much I fiddle around with preferences and administrator and blah blah. I see that Civ 3 is available on Steam. I hate Steam...

    Count me among those who has installed my old CD version of Civ 3 on my Win 10 computer and tried to launch the game. Reading through this thread...I'm ready to just give up.
