Which decade has the most Civfanatics?

[buccaneer9]

March 1963.

I played Civ 1 in February/March 1992 - I still remember the first game I won. Have played every version since then. Oh, and I've worked in the industry since 1996.

 

[raymondieee]

I played my first game sometime in early 92 as well. I don't however recall winning. -1971

Mr Moron: Why that? Ò_ó"

 

[Willowmound]

Nice job moving this from the Civ3 forum!

Voting should be compulsory...

 

[Bushface]

Still only two of us from the thirties, I see.
Possibly the only advantage of being a pensioner and a widower is that I have lovely lots of free time to play Civ4 . . . Are there really no other oldsters playing ?

 

[Plotinus]

Pah! You can't be a real oldster if you're playing Civ IV! Civ III's where it's at. How shocking that they moved this thread!

Now if I could only find my ear trumpet...

I was born in 1961. In 2012 I will retire. What will I do with all the spare time? What version of Civ will be out then? How much more will I know?

 

[wiseguy101]

July 1988 is when I was born. I started playing Civ 2 when I was seven or eight years old, but I didn't really know what I was doing then. I know what I'm doing in Civ 4 though!

1985 pwns all other years, because that's when i was born.

BOW DOWN TO ME NOW!

I'm really surprised that as old as 80 year old people play the games.. Well why not.

1948

The first computer I ever used was an IBM 360/67 mainframe. This was in 1971. It filled a room and needed three people to operate, including a high priest to sacrifice a gerbil every hour to appease the computing gods. My present computer, a Gateway D915GAG, is faster, has more RAM, and costs about 1% of what the IBM 360/67 cost.

1984 here.
I think i started playing civ around 1994 on the family's 386 running DOS and Xtree.

 

[werrewind]

1990.

Started civ4 couple of months ago

The computing gods eh? lol @ YNCS

 

[Ball Lightning]

Born 1992. Started playing Civ2 at age of six.

 

[StarWorms]

1987 ftw

I agree

 

[O.H.Dog]

1952 I just made it into the year of the dragon.

The solder sucker in my avatar is older than about half of you. The iron is a bit younger from the mid 80s.

I built a pong game in 1971 (it's around here somewhere), played Adventure in 1977 and built my first computer in 1978. I only got into Civ about 2001, but I was playing a predecessor, Empire, since 1988.

LOL My friend, I'm a lot younger than you (born in the 1960's) and I probably saw my first computer a lot after you too, but the story is the same. When I was at university in the early 80's, the university had about six wonderful VAX 11 780's which were absolutely awsome, large, kept in special room with amazing gurus dedicated to keeping them going. Now I sit at a Toshiba Tecra laptop with many time the processing power of those vax's taking up basically no room, etc., etc. rhubarb, rhubarb
