Finally, an excuse to play this
-
I’ve been meaning to play civilisation for a while now. I’ve spent waaaaay too much of my life playing Civilisation IV (and more recently, VI) and have been meaning to go to the original for some time now. Looking forward to this one.

Civ I is probably the one I’ve played most. There isn’t a Civ I haven’t played, but I’ve been less into the series as it developed over time.
I don’t think the later games in the series are worse than the first ones, probably quite the opposite, but I’m just really into how basic the first game was.
Civ 1 is really just a dressed up war game and everything that’s not about crushing your enemies is not worth doing haha
Heh, my jump-in point was Civ 2, so I’ll be interested in playing this one as well.
Me four! I was also late to the Civ party. I think the first one I played was 4. Might have bought 3 somewhere along the line, but didn’t play it until much later.
Slightly off-topic, LGR did a retrospective on Sims 1 after many years. He concluded that while it was revolutionary for the time, it’s simply too limited to be much fun now. I wonder if Civ will feel the same way, after we’ve been spoiled by the later games. Or maybe the basicness that Tijn describes above will hold up well.
I remember playing CIV 1 a lot on my first PC, looking forward to replaying it after so many years.
I did play Civ1 a bit, together with Colonization. But the main one I’ve played over and over and still return to from time to time is Civ3.
Unfortunately that’s a Windows game, you know, that new OS.
So, Civ1 it is.
I played Civ 1 back in the day, one of the DOS games I first saw over somebody’s shoulder, which alone would make it a certified classic.
I played Civ 2 and Civ 3 as well, and then I did a longturn multiplayer game of Freeciv (plus some single-player as well). I’m kind of civved out.. but firing up the original game does have its appeal.
