    Hey, has anybody out there played the board game, Dune? I *loved* that game and just found it in the cupboard again.

      Yeah, I played the "Dune" board game way back when. It was pretty cool.

        Man, I'm really feeling my age.....I started with SMAC .

        Then I got Civ2, played it a bit, and got Civ3 because of it. Now, I don't play any, and I spend my time talking with people and posting on these fora. Please don't hurt me .

          My first computer TBS was something called Hammurabi, which I played on an IBM mainframe using a teletype terminal back around 1974. As I recall, the key strategy was to keep the population down by letting a certain percentage of your citizens starve to death.

              I went from Panzer General to Steel Panthers, Imperialism, and then after that a whole slew of SSI games, then Civ 2, and the rest is history.

              Alas, I have nearly the entire SSI library... I wish they hadn't gone out of business and gotten absorbed.

                either masters of magic or x-com

                I'm not sure which one I started playing first. I played them about the same time. I "got" them about the same time.

                  chess is a PC TBS if you play it on a PC... ... just like Civ is a board game if you play the (soon to be released) board game version of it.

                  mine is chess too.

                    Civ1 (DOS), in 1994 I think (although I might have forgotten about some more arachaic and less impressive games before that)...

                          Colonisation, which rocked. Cool music.

                            Well, I played quite a few games in the 80s but I can't remember much when it comes to nemaes. I played Civ I of course so that's the one I vividly remember. Was Defender of the Crown not a mix between TBS and Adventure? I loved that game on my Amiga 500!

                            So long...

                              Oh, right. I had Colonisation and Civilisation in one time.

                                again you people appear not to like to read, I said even if you play it on a PC it's not a PC TBS as it's still just a board game and wasn't created on the PC, that's like saying that a movie is a TV show because you watched it at home on HBO instead of in theaters.
