    Civ for Windows Mobile?

    Does anyone know of a Civilization version I can run on Windows Mobile? I have a Qtek 9100 I'd like to play it on when I'm bored on trains, metro etc... (An other name for Qtek in other countries is Blackberry and I-mate)

    That is the question that I asked myself 2 years ago, and still have no answer. I will order such a game directly! I bet many others as well. Why wait, firaxis? Programming a pocket pc game seems much less work than the pc version. I was hoping that somebody can bring us freeciv to the pocket pc, but so far.. no news about it
    Civilization is a game where man dominate a fictive world.. woman does it for real

      It sounds like it may or may not work... and if it does work, it might not work well. At least it's something though.

      Also, a few years ago, I had seen screenshots of a pocket pc version, but it never came around. It was advertised to come available at Pocketsoft.ru (I think it was)... but now it's gone.

      Also, there's apparently a version of Civ out for the N-gage, which almost makes it worth buying one... well, not really- don't have that money... but it'd be great to be able to play Civ on a portable device.

        Don't forget Civilization: Revolution will be available on the Nintendo DS and possibly Sony PSP.
