My first Civ1 PC is much more interesting, an IBM 8088!!
And I only acquired Civ1 in 1995! Was I glad I got Civ1! It was just about the only serious game that would run on it, while all my friends were playing Doom on their 486's

Snap, Mercator - except mine was an 8086 souped up to run at 8MHz - it had an absolutely monstrous 30 Mb HDD and one of those new-fangled 4 and a bit inch FDDs which took 720 Kb diskettes - what an improvement they were - those were the days my friend ..."Our words are backed by empty wine bottles! - SG(2)

My first civ2 machine was my PII 350, which I really must upgrade at some point.
My first civ1 machine was my trusty Amiga 1200, which I upgraded to run at a monstrous 50MHz, with a ridiculous 18Mb of RAM!

Yes, *sigh* those were the days... Well, until others started having faster PC´s anyway.

My first Civ2 computer was the same one I have now--a 450 MHz Pentium III with 128 Mb memory and a 10 gig HD, which I acquired two or three years ago.
I still have my Tandy 1000 SX (8088), as well as my Commodre 64/Plus4 and TI-99/4A...No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

PowerMac 6100, 60MHz, 16Megs of RAM.

Ditto. Also, this was my first Civ I computer. It was 1995 and I was fifteen. I thought I was a strategic genius when I invented the "wave of catapults".Originally posted by Ecthelion

My first computer for civ2 was a crappy PC with a 233MHz Cyrix CPU I played Civ1 on an Amiga 2000, it was pretty slow, especially after Apollo, but I loved that machine...

Hey, that was an upgrade from my 386/16 I bought at the thrift store for 20$ in 1996!Originally posted by Paul L
486/25 half as fast as a 486/25
a buddy of mine said he found these parts somewhere, and had a 486 motherboard among them. I bought a 286 at thrift store for the case, then bought 4 1MB ram cards used and a 486/25 CPU. total cost was around 35$. that was in mid 1997.
a friend bought me my first CD-Rom for christmas, and sometime later I bought civ2 at Kmart for 12$ with some birthday money. I had already bought Civ1 a while back and was addicted.
so my firts civ2 computer was also my first civ1 computer.
I tried running windows 95 on that at one point (after I upgraded to 16MBRAM) and it took about 7 minutes to boot.Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a BEAST
