Civ1 back in 94, on a powerful 486sx-25.
I remember my mom getting angry because I rushed family lunch in order to play one more turn before school.
Then I met Civ2 on a friend's computer, while I was working during summer vacation. Oh boooy...
And civ3 I bought as soon as was humanly possible. I had the Civ3 screensaver on my work computer, the one where Washington is defended by a warrior and riflemen and archers keep coming at him, and of course everybody thought I was playing at work

It's Just a Phase
I started on Civ3 and stuck with it... I find it hard to get used to the most up-to-date version of a game series, and then work back. That would be like going from GTA Vice City to the original GTA...

I played Civ1 an average 3 hours a day for about 3 years. Same then with Civ2. And now I'm completely addicted to Civ3.
Note that in each case, I was at first disappointed by the new version of the game.
Altogether, Civ and Civ-likes (MoM, Col, SMAC, MoO) have been responsible for my needing 5 years instead of 3 to write my thesis, and have been my main occupation for the last ten years (besides sleeping, and that not by much). Call me a freak?

I'm old enough to have started with Civ 1 
I can't even remember what computer I used to run it on, maybe an Amiga or an Atari. From there I progressed through Civ 2 to SMAC (which is my all time favourite).
I came to Civ 3 quite late (beginning of last year) and finally found CFC

It wasn't until CivII that really became a true CivFanatic, but I did play CivI a few times at a friends house when I was in junior high and had no PC of my own. In fact, I bought CivII without reading any reviews or knowing anything about the game really at all. All I knew was, I kinda liked that game I played at my buddie's house a few years ago, so the sequel is probably decent.
Little did I know what path that decision would take me on.
CivI was my first time, CivII was my first love, but CivIII has won my heart =)

It is good to be among the addicted... Played pirates on c64, then civ1, civ2, smac, colonization (liked it a lot, looking forward to col2) did not much like ctp(2) and now trying to master civ3. I will probably never play over emperor, though. I dont like AI having such numerical advantage, it makes a whole different game.

I borrowed Civ 1 off a friend in 1998. It came on a few of those 5.25" disks, and he wanted me to copy them to 3.5" disks for him, but I never got around to it, I just played it instead 
Before Civ I.
In the late 80's I played a game called "Strategic Conquest" on my Machintosh SE, it was a pecursor of Civilization.
In "Strategic Conquest" there were only three kinds of terrain squares: land, water and cities. There were no city improvements; cities only built military units. There was no technology tree. The units avalible were the ones in the late industrial era: tanks, infantry, battleships, submarines, transports, aircraft carriers, and jet fighters.
Oh, and the game was in black and white.
Actually, Civ I was the reason I sold my Machintosh and bought a 286.
(Man, I am too old!)

I played stg similar on Mac in 1992/3, that was called Empire Master. It is exactly what you describe. It set the ground for my addiction to such games. I started Civ1 a few months later...
