  • Need to buy Civilization 1

    Hi Civilization 1 fans, I bought a discounted demo version of Civ 1 from a store and found I could not save games with it. Truly a bummeroo. Does anyone know where I can buy a Civ 1 so I can play my favourite game and take over the world when I please?

    1) Got DL suspicion here, will check

    2) http://theunderdogs.org for download... you can download Civ 1 legally now

      I checked out theunderdogs.org and can see no listing to download computer games. Suppose I should try again.
      DL suspicions? I really did buy the game, it was $2, I got what I paid for.
      What should I click on?

        I looked on abandongames.com, and all the links they have point to sites that have taken the game down so you can't download it... stupid ISDA...

          The site moved to http://www.the-underdogs.org (note the hyphen)... But even so, Civ1 is no longer available for download over there.
          And downloading legally simply because of age really isn't that simple. It may be acceptable to the majority, but that doesn't make it legal. At least one other abandonware site has it listed, but not available for download due to copyright protection.

            Double login, that's not me. I am totally new to this forum. Computers have created acronym mania - chcam.
            But I need Civ 1 so because I bought Civ 2 and it is awful, I can't play it. The view of it pains me.

                Why not try MOM? It has similar gameplay and graphics to Civ 1, and can be downloaded.

                Just a suggestion, AH.

                  im sorry,

                  but why not just get civ3/2?

                  Civ1 is so old. you are really far behind. I doubt ACS even has a Civ1 section.

                      You can email me, my address is solver@apolyton.net (d'oh), and if you do, I'll send you out the Civ 1 installation, rather small.

                        You can buy the original Civilization for £4.99 from Crucial Entertainment. Based the United Kingdom, the company ships to most international destinations.

                          Are they sure about the requirements? I remember playing Civ1 on a 486 33 MHz, 4 MB RAM, but that was the DOS version... Still I don't think the Windows version would require another 100 MHz.

                              Gramphos:

                              That would be a question for Crucial Entertainment.
