CivI Forum?

[gopher]

Just wondering why this site dosen't have a CivI forum. It seems that a few of us still play it once in awhile, and it would get more responses than, say, the Earth 2025 forum.
Well, is my idea a stupid result of Jagerbombs and Flaming Gorilla Titties or am I actually onto something?

There probably was one a while ago...I wouldn't know for sure, though.

Exactly! Why was it allowed to go? This is a Civ site (even though the 2 sites that merged were Civ2, but what do I care for details). If BHG, Europa Univ, Tradewars, MOO, etc can have detailed forums for them, why not the game that started it all?

I don't play Civ (1) any more, but why not?

You would think that Markos would certainly want a forum for discussion of the one that started it all. Phalanx beats Battleship anyone?

[spartak]

I'm bnot sure what we would discuss though. CIV1 wasn't full of bugs to start with.....

[Case]

Considering that modern computers can't even run Civ 1 properly, I don't think that there's much to discuss...

[notyoueither]

Hey! I've got one around here that can run the old girl.

If there were a Civ1 forum, some of us could drop by once in a while to yield our votive offerings.

I've still got my Tandy 1000 that has civ 1 on it... and it runs slower than Civ 3 on my current computer - even with hugh maps

Edit: I should go back to my old Apple 2e and see what I can do on that puppy. I still have the old floppy of Ghostbusters somewhere.

I got Civ 1, play it perfectly on my WinXP machine (?), and like to duke it out once in a while. I agree that we need a Civ 1 forum.

[gopher]

Well, if a CivI forum can't work, why not a Colonization forum?
Another AWESOME game that some of us play time to time.
The same arguments I used for CivI apply here.

Yeah, I'd love to see a Civ1 and/or Col forum as well (even a single 'Civ1 & Col' forum would do), but this is like thread #237 on this issue and so far each thread got a thumbs down by the owners...

I played Civ 1 again recently, and I have found proof positive that nostalgia gives you the false impression that things were better in the past.

Its a good game, but it is dated.

my computer can run civ for windows pretty well. Xp, 1.7ghz. runs well.

and, it runs fast, though I would prefer the pathfinding of Civ3 to moving every single unit every single turn.
