And, I, too, would be interested in knowing others' thoughts on what other turn-based strategy games are worthwhile.

Wait a sec, about that "work" idea.
I hope that we can run civ complete like civII: I used to be able to quickly hide that when anyone "important" ambled by (that included my wife). Did a lot of "work" in those days. Now I can't do that.

Command-H is your friend with any "work" application that you need to shift off your desktop fast. Civ3 always responded to it, and I'm sure Brad will have stayed true to the Mac interface for Complete.

You'll also have the option to run it in a window.

Stratcon was awesome. It's what got me into Civilization in the first place. I played it in college during the majority of my free time. I always had to kick my roomate and my suitemates off of it so I could play. One last old school gaming question for mac. Does anyone remember a game imported by Maxis from Japan. I remember it being about trains and how to get the best use out of them.. back to civ

Like an early version of RT, the flavor of the trains was very much japanese as were the buildings, it had an isometric view of both. It had night and day simulated. However it did look a bit like an early version of simcity. Thats all I remember, and yes i'm still waiting for my c3c.

Hi all-
That train game was "A-Train" and had a definite Japanese flavor to it, as the "reward" was the bullet train coming. I still have it and open it up every now and then for old times sake. It was one of those games where you could leave it on all night to build up resources (or go bankrupt) and come back the next day to build your empire!

Cool thanks wally, i lost my disks to it a long time ago. Someone had asked me about that game recently too.
Well its "shipping finally, I have it on two day it should be here either tomorrow or the next day(13th Friday!!).. I can't wait to play....i need my fix...
If you mean your retailer is shipping - eg Amazon - that's great! Tell us all about it when you get it. Aspyr status has been shipping to the retailers for a while now but yours would be the first reported siting of end-customer shipping status.waltham845 said:

My local retailer emailed me with the news that they were supposed to get it here in Vermont "in the next couple of days" so I should see it soon.
Question for the experts: will any saved games from the vanilla Civ III port over to the new version? I know they're produced by different companies but I hope the saved files will be compatible.

MacSoft's 1.29b2 saves are indistinguishable from PC 129f saves - trust me, I have to handle the saves from both versions using GOTM submission software. So assuming the Aspyr software handles PC-comnpatible saves it ought to open a MacSoft save.

Right, they should work but I can't say we heavily tested this aspect. I did fix a few bugs related to opening vanilla 1.29 saves in Conquests 1.22 so that part is the most tested. I suspect opening 1.29 saves in PtW 1.27 will also work, but I don't believe anyone tried that.
