I play Civ III because it was a Christmas present.
As an SP game only, I would have never bought.
I play Civ II MP at night, which is my dedicated relaxation time.

Where the heck are the "Other game" or the "Waiting for a new TBS game"?
"BANANA POWAAAAH!!! (exclamation Zopperoni style)" - Mercator, in the OT 'What fruit are you?' thread
Join the Civ2 Democratic Game! We have a banana option in every poll just for you to vote for! Many thanks to Zealot for wasting his time on the jobs section at Gamasutra - MarkG in the article SMAC2 IN FULL 3D?http://apolyton.net/misc/ Always thought settlers looked like Viking helmets. Took me a while to spot they were supposed to be wagons. - The pirate about Settlers in Civ 1
I loved Civ2, but Civ3 hasn't got hold of me the same way. why I don't know... you may think I'm mad but the wonder movies in Civ2 and SMAC really entertained and motivated me... I wanted to see them all again and again.
Gone back to games that can quicken my pulse the way Civ3 can't. Stronghold is the newest and its proving a good challenge and more of a laugh. Also had a few friends round the other night and they wanted to shoot and kill things, I don't go big on FPS, but we ran through a few Hidden and Dangerous missions and I'd forgotten how good and how difficult it was.
I'm sure that if everyone used a machine identical to the one on which Civ3 was developed, we would have no major bugs, etc.
True, but some of the bugs would have been visable no matter who's computer or hardware configuration you played on. (Air superiority, coastal fortress etc.) Games for consoles may not be perfect, but will always have fewer bugs than PC games because the software companies realize that it is not possible to fix it once it is realeased. So, of course, they always try and do the best job. It just shows the bad side of the ability to patch a game.
well there was no poll for nothing. so I voted given up on TBS
But I play no games currently. I can't seem to find the time. *****ing about games at apolyton seems to take up most of my free time
But I'm bored of all computer games. I'm going over my brother's house to play the x-box. I may end up buying one. The last console I owned was the sega genesis way back in the 90's. I usually don't like console games. But I'm beginning to wonder if they are in fact superior to PC games. The only thing I wish is they had more "adult" type games (no not nudie games- just mature games). I doubt I will ever see a Fallout type game on the x-box.
OTH, I am still on just my THIRD game (since 10/31), started this one about 12/1. Yes, it is long and drawn out, but I'm playing it with patience -- while at the same time trying to see how I can speed up a win.
i just have it for 2 weeks, i will probably play it for about a month more, together with starcraft. After that it will be 100% starcraft again untill Warcraft 3
I have put civIII back on the shelf, it just isn't fun! Can you believe it?
The games I play currently are:
Combat Mission:Beyond Overlord.......if you are interested in WWII sims......goto battlefront.com and download the demo, its an awesome game
and of course, like many others have said
I'm playing Baldur's Gate.
I really wanted to enjoy civIII (such I was such a fan of civII and Smac) but I can't get into it. It takes too long to play the game, and to be honest, I miss the damn wonder movies---they really set a mood. When I first got the game, I attempted to get my wife involved, thinking that with the historical pagentry (as in Civ II) that she would really enjoy it. Well let me tell, when I built the pyramids and that movie didn't start with the cool music, it was a let down. I know, seems a nit-picky, or irrelevant point, but without the bells and whistles, I just can't get into it!
Should be more government choices too----is there any reason why would want to be anything other than a democ?? boring
Wow, a lot of people like the wonder movies - I only ever watched one in my whole time playing, but then again there isn't time when you're playing multiplay civ2. There are less and less people playing it though, and I find few people challenging to play. Always looking for more players though. I think I've completely given up on civ3, and TBS in general - gone back to playing Champ Manager and emulating some old games I used to play back on the Amiga. Wonder if and when a new TBS game is going to hook me the way civ1/2 did, maybe it's not going to happen.
