Same here. Was playing it akin to walking through treacle with concrete boots on for you, or was that a phenomenon only I experienced?

I turned off all 'features' so I only had to change disks every ten minutes or so, rather than every 10 seconds.

Interrupted many a Ming game during various visits to his house, got interested, eventually bought the Mac MGE version of Civ2 about a year ago.

Originally came here to get the MP patch so I could get trounced by my friends online. Now I mostly play SP and in succession games, plus of course the C2DG.

The OT sucked me in...and o yea, I liked Civ2 too

I played Civ I way back when. Continued to play it even after the release of Civ II. Really got excited when Sid split to form Firaxis and created SMG! When, AC was being designed I posted on the AC web board and the Firaxis board. They eventually shut that down.

I lurked for a while and then when Civ III was going to be created by Firaxis I joined and posted a ton on this site. Of course, I lost interest in the game after a short time in playing III and so I have moved on to RoN. I would not still be here if it wasn't for the depth of games now covered on Apolyton.

CtP scenario hunt.

The hunt ended here.

I started playing civ longer ago than I care to remember...I also bought civ2 when it came out, and a bit before SMAC came along I started checking up on the game, after all, the age of the internet allowed me to investigate, so I ended up at alpha.owo. I then ended up here by some convoluted method. The rest is history, or too boring to write

Ming told me to "check it out".

[Tuberski]

Started playing Civ in 93 when I was in the Navy on the Amiga-damn slowwwwww.....

Found Apolyton when SMAC came out or it's predecessor, can't remember which.

I just bothered with the forums this year, I think. But I may have an old login somewhere.

ACK!

I bought Civ shortly after it came out, based on a very positive review by Jerry Pournelle in Byte magazine. After I bought Civ II, I was hanging out on usenet swapping strategies, when someone posted a link to Apolyton. I've been amazed at the level of intelligence and humor of the posters here.

civ1->civ2->SMAC->civ3 (*shudders*)->SMAC

[Jethro83]

Though I did play Civ II and SMAC quite a bit before looking for related material on the net, it wasn't until Civ III was released that I decided to search the net for patches, modpacks and the like. After looking through the list of sites on civ3.com, I found CivFanatics. When I saw the sorts of discussions going on there, I decided to sign up and join in.

After posting there for a few months, I had been reading quite a few references to Apolyton. I showed up here, lurked for a little while and finally decided to register and start posting here as well.

[The Pioneer]

Well, I don't excactly remember when I started visiting Apolyton but it was sometime in 2001, because Civ 3's release was imminent and I was looking on the net for Info. Of course, I found many sites about Civilization at that time but the fact that Markos is a countryman of mine made me look at this site more than the others. The rest is history as they say!


So long....

To Apolyton: Thank god for Google.

To CtP: Thank god for Bargain Bins.
