What was your 1st TBS you ever played?

[Cidifer]

What and (if you can remember) when was the 1st time you played a PC TBS game? for me it was colonization, and I want to say this was in the early-mid 90's like 93-94 but I'm not sure anyone know when that game came out? and why didn't they ever make a 2nd one? or did they and I never knew it?

However my first TBS experience wass the Demo for Imperialism however it was discontinued by this point and the 2nd one I didn't like enough to buy...

Now I an find neither

I'm kind of new on TBS, compared with you, because my first one was Civ2. Since I played it, I become fanatic about strategy games.
CTP 1 and 2 with its new graphic system was excellent, but after I realize this is not all in a game.
SMAC with its very good wonder movies, border system and stuff make it my favorite game for a relative long time.
Now I'm here, and I think I'll stand here for awhile.

I'll say Lords of Conquest (C64), but there was probably something even older that I'm just forgetting. Maybe some old SSI war game. Maybe it was the first Reach For The Stars! (early '80s), probably. As I fire up the Way Back Machine, I'll say it was RFTS that gave me the 4x bug.

i'm pretty new at TBS, too. i played heroes of might and magic 3 at a friends' house, pretty soon after it came out. he gave me his copy of HOMM2 and i took it home.

It would have to be Othello, I think, but that's probably not what you meant.

I played a game called Balance of Power, by Chris Crawford, which came out in 1986. It was pale by today's standards, but did show the way for global strategic games.

Anybody play any of the TBS games on the old BBS's ?(we're talking pre-internet here)

I don't remember the names of them, but I do recall a galactic trading game I was quite addicted to.

[sabrewolf]

on pc it was civ1 or colonisation - i don't know what came first.
from 1982 on (sinclair spectrum zx81 (only 16kBytes RAM, imagine that!!)) there was something like a TBS-game, i just don't remember the name

It would have to be Othello, I think, but that's probably not what you meant.

Are you talking about that board game that's played with black and white pieces? if you are then no that isn't what I ment as that's not a PC game (even if it was a PC version of it it's still a board game). Otherwise I've never heard of it but I think I remember that being the name of that game we had in our 4th grade class, and i don't know if I ever finished that a game.

Early 80's.

Either Civ 1 or Heirs to the Throne, whichever came out first. (Oil Barons and Scorched Earth don't count.)

Civ2

I'm not the biggest TBS fan in the world.
