I have been playing Civ since Civ 1 first came out in 1991 (?). Since the days when PC games pretty well ceased being produced - around 2000 - Civ has been my only gaming, and takes up several hours every day.
However, I have fond memories of other games in more innocent days.
In the 1980s, in the era of the Sinclair Spectrum, there was a wonderful game based round the Norse mythological sagas. Also an interesting game based on the black death. (I realise the non-European readership - ie most! - won't know what I'm talking about).
In the 1990s, in the days of 286 / 386 / 486 PCs and blocky CGA / EGA / VGA graphics, we had an early game called "Guns or Butter" which was quite cool. Aslo, the wonderful Panzer General series, which I rate as THE best non-Civ gaming experience. The battle of Kursk is seared my mind forever! As is Arnhem.
Do others have good memories of earlier gaming experiences?
