Than what are you waiting for???? no one will play it for you go and play it yourself


seriously... play civ1 and find out how deep is the rabbit hole

I probably would, but I just have too many other games to play right now, and I don't think I could stomach those graphics anymore.

I did have a console emulator ROM of it though... somewhere around here...

[Adagio]

Oh yeah, the throne room was ugly, boring and always turned off. ok, I have to admit, in Civ1 the palace screen was also turned off, but it was only turned of because of one thing...I had to change disks everytime I wanted to see the palace (Pretty annoying ). I just hope they don't ship the game with 2 CDs and having to change CD just to view the palace

Oh, and by the way, the few times I "used" the palace, it was really great, can't wait to see my palace again

"The Cave"

That's what I called my throne room. never turned it off, though.

except of course on deity + levels when it upgrades every turn, even when I'm about to be conquered.

Oh yes - it was released on four 720 kb disks. I actually managed to fit all the files on just three disk, so that with two floppy drives I never had to swap disks once disk1 had loaded

The single feature I missed the most in CivII was the Replay where you got a fast-forward presentation of how your civ evolved from the very beginning to the end. As far as I've been informed this feature is back in CivIII and I can hardly wait to see it again

[Mankind]

About loam me memory did not wash disc 3 was necessary only in final phase of game [replay etc. ] and perhaps I make a mistake

Yes Amiga times..... it was someting.... . civilisation, colonizaion [north & south ] ok enought of old'times.

that was off-topic .... but ...

That one is in again Can't wait to finish my first game...Just to see the replay feature again

Oh yeah, I remember civ back on my old Atari ST, it used to be on 3 disks IIRC. It was so damn slow though because I remember buying my first PC in 1995 and, of course, buying Civ, and it was amazing just how much faster it worked. It was heaven

But what I would think would be nice is if the grandeur of your palace had an effect on the rate of culture generation by it. That would be cool!

I remember playing Civ 1 on my Tandy 1000, it was soooo slow...
I started a new game on the world map, and even then it went throught the entire intro thing before the game could begin. Once i got a 486, that same map loaded almost instantly At least both of them had harddrives though. No disk-swapping

[Grumbold]

Ahh yes, the anticipation building as the world generator slowly showed you the solar system coalescing and your new world forming. It seems amazing now that the wait didn't have us tearing our hair out in frustration. We truly have become impatient for instant gratification* with the speed of modern life

For me, it sometimes took up to a half hour to start a new game. The whole save and restart cheat never ever was possible in my Civ I experience.
