civ 20 year anniversary

[Selous]

anyone know the actual release date of civ 1?

all i can find is the year 1991

i think the forum should do something for it? some sort of civ1 themed comp?

anyone interested? (or already planned?)

 

[Drakan]

That would be a nice idea.

More like Civilization 5 is for the slow of mind.

Ah Groo...

It's been a while.

since civ 5 killed the franchise I really dont see a point to doing this.

nice research!!

pity it is so far away, i hope civ1 gets released for free

i hope the forum does something for it, it might distract us after the "next terrible" xpac come out (this november would be about time for one)

I have mixed feelings. In 20 years Civ has gone from groundbreaking new PC genre to a Facebook app. Meier fired all his Civ5 development guys and is concentrating all his efforts on this Facebook nonsense, while Civ for PC languishes, half-finished, in controversy.

Why would they ever want to turn Civilization into a Facebook game? Where is Sid's self respect?

I'm not sure if there is going to be an expansion pack. They might just keeping selling us civs for $5 each.

Here it is for the pc version 12/31/91 http://cheats.gamespy.com/pc-cheats/civilization/ and http://pc.ign.com/articles/107/1074261p1.html

Because money has always been the driving motivator of corporations?

The Civ1 manual contains the date of September 11, 1991.

Yeah, people in the US of A could be offended. Maybe we'll choose an imaginary date? For example, CIV is 104 in Roman numerals, the 104th day of the year is April 14, there we go

One of my friends has a birthday on September 11th. He almost launched some leftover fireworks, but then he remembered what day it was. Man that would have been embarrassing.

Darn... can't find a release date. Well we certainly can't have it on the 11th.

Why don't we just celebrate Sid's birthday instead?

Or maybe rather Soren Johnson's birthday...
