Civ1 SOURCE CODE!

[trada]

I have it. The source code to civ1. I'm not kidding around either. My mate was emailing his uncle about advice for uni courses (should I pick up law? Is it too late? etc) and they had a kind of side conversation going on about computer games. The uncle mentioned he still had a box full of what he called "retro crap" from when he used to flat with a guy who was really into PC gaming back in 1995. Anyway, my asked for zips of any files he could upload/email. And he emailed back with a treasure trove! A lot of the stuff is probably pretty special but I don't know what its about. Mostly .txt files of code. I've been spending the morning going through a lot of it and, check it out..

What am I meant to do!? Should I release it to the public? I'm tempted just to upload it to CFC!

Enjoy!

(gosh!)

Regardless of the date: sounds like nothing special - Civ1 has been available as freeware for quite a while.

Jeelen, maybe you were thinking of Sim City?

SimCity? A real life simulator for people who got none?

Ummm.... no, civ1 is not freeware.

Oh really? [link removed]

Jeelen, please refer here. Civ1 is definitely not freeware or abandonware. And the civ1 source code is a pretty much the holy grail in this forum.

Anyway, at least one person fell for my trick
