Well, I admit 12 pages is a lot to dig through, china444, but Lexiloo said he/she was 10 in this post.

Thanks.

It looks like we have two 10 year olds in here.

I'm think this would be much more fun if we had to guess each others ages. (For people who actually post alot anyhow).

Anyhow, I'm 22. Been playing Civilization since Civ1 when I was 12.

-Sirp.

Well, I'd have been wrong guessing your age, Sirp. Won't tell you what my estimate would have been, let's just say you seem more... uhhh....seasoned

I'm 26 - first picked up on civ when I was, ooh, 15 ? Our Olivetti M21 at home couldn't run civ, as it had no harddrive, so I got a job bringing round newspapers until I could buy my own computer - a second hand 286/ 16 Mhz. Civ1 was the very first game that got installed.

 

[Gainy]

i had a 286 too......... when i was 3, out of interest how much did that cost you?

 

[jack merchant]

I got one secondhand for $500 approximately - not a good deal, in hindsight, But then I was young and didn't know better

Seriously, civ has helped me alot in Western Civ class. I've (sadly) begun to think of history in civ terms sometimes, but that helps alot.

@china 444- I am 14 abd I play on Emperor. Now there's a poll-- How old/what difficulty.

Oh really?

You have my curiosity piqued now, do tell!

Oh. I remember when we first got civ1 in my household
My father had bought a 386 - which at the time was one of the most advanced machines on the market (ehem - that was his words...)
I remember arguing that civ1 was not a bloody war game, and that it had a civilopedia, where you could learn from lots useful info about the history of the world
Well - civ was allowed, and I ve been playing ever since.
Yes - I still play civ1...

I'm just shy of 6,000 and my term of office should be ending soon. But first, I have to rid the world of some ruthless aggressors.

Just kinda wondering what age groups live in the CIV III realm. My wife says I'm too old to play. ( 38+ )

IF someone believes someone else is to old to have FUN, then that persons seems to be old in mind ;o)
(Except if you have children to small to take care of themselfes. THEN I don't recomend playing Civilization before they become biger ;o)
This is a questions about how to think to remind young in your own mind. So if you tell your wife that, she perhaps starts saying that Civilization is good ;o)
For instance the famous writer Astrid Lindgren never got old, although she became over 90...

Hmm...
I'm 39 and I have been playing civilization for the last 20 years or so (and still going strong).

First ones were Avalon Hill's Civilization (-82) and Extended Civilization.
Then Civilization I (both versions)
Then Civilization II
Then Civilization III

I still prefer the second one over Civ III (and the board games).

Jari ;=)
