Did you get your degree, or are you another one Sid destroyed?

If you can manage to play such a way (days and nights) so you'll have to wear glasses after 2 months, then you are my equal

Just human, as a "friend" use to say

I think I understand what you all mean...
My favourite is Civ 2, but I can usually quit playing when Iwant to, I remember playing Civ 1 and not being able to quit!!!
The Overlord described it perfectly, it's that "just one more turn" syndrome

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

Well I am convinced, when I revisit new orleans I am stealing my friend's floppy disks of Civ1 (and the excellent massive guide book that he bought way back when).

It's the nostalgic, simplistic feel, and isn't cluttered by fancy graphical animations, sounds, and 3D/psuedo-3D environments.

It is the symptom that I would like to call. Impulsve Classic Game Playing.

The symptoms are that the player contines to play a Classic game (Like Civ1) even when there are new versions of the game

I think Civ 1 gives you more imagination... if you know what i mean.

You can imagine them (enemie rulers etc) to be real because you dont have stupid, stupid, messages from them when meeting and through intelligence etc. Civ 3 is the absolute worst for that area.

It doesnt have big units to make you feel like your on a board game with big huge chess pieces like Civ3 either.

I could go on and on... but i'll stop here.

I've been lurking here for the past couple of days, reading up on old posts. . . I remember, as I said in my last post, being really hooked on it. Civ 2 was okay, and I certainly lost a lot of hours with it. Civ 3 is my passion now, and I definately suffer from the one-more-turn sydrome there. Let me put it this way. . . I used to get about six, six and a half hours sleep, and lost two of that playing Civ 3. No big deal? It is, when you consider I spent the previous six hours before it playing. . .

In any event, I was intruiged by people still being so loyal to Civ1. Civ 2 I couldn't go back to after playing Civ 3. But I said to myself, maybe there's something to it. So I dusted off my old floppies, and DAMNED IF I'M NOT HOOKED AGAIN! Spent several hours playing this morning.

There's just something about this game. . .

Good posts...

 

[Civ]

Civ I was a great game. Maybe greatest ever. I have spent whole 3 or 4 years playing it.

Now i am playing civ III, but when i get bored i play colonization . Yes the same old colonization. I have no ideas why it does not have second version :-/

Well my greatest wishes to Sid Mayer

 

[Portuguese]

Mayer?!?
Who the Hell are you or where was your head?
It's Sid Meier!

 

[Hackcraft]

I have a question. from what i've been reading there's a difference in civ1(dos),civ1(windows),and the best one and the one that i own civnet. IS THERE REALLY A DIFFERENCE.



P.S. the only one I own is civnet

 

[Groovin']

The differences getween CivNet and Civ 1 for DOS are mainly cosmetic, but after playin the dos version for so long CivNet is bloody annoying.
