Civ 2 Style game editor

Computer hacking involves something like life imprisonment now. (or close to that).

The $$ value of Civ3: A personal perspective.

25 hours of civ3 per week * 49 weeks of civ3 = 1,225 hours of playing civ3

I paid $65 for the expensive tin edition.

That's (gasp!) almost 5-1/3 CENTS per hour!
Oops! How could I forget, I also spent $1,300 for a lame (no AGP slot) Windoze PC to play it on. Now it's $1.11 per hour.

I know someone who has a cracked version and he got the game patched and the editor working, he told me it was childsplay really. Not that i condone such behaviour.

Maquiladora, It is childsplay. I have to use a No CD patch becuase of the safedisk protection (Luckily they are switching to securom for PTW).

Almost nothing is more lame then asking someone how to crack or questions related to cracking.

I have the no-cd crack on my laptop - only 'cause I leave the CD at home so my wife can play during the day if she wants.

The $$ value of Civ3: the real persective. The value of a game is compared to other games (where it's value is decidely average-to-below), not some vague $$ number. Keep in mind your 1,225 hours is not the average playing time and the $65 price is high, for the more casual amongst us that deal ain't quite so sweet.

And as your logic maintains, a $5 hamburger is a great deal (4 hours hunger abbatement = $1.25 an hour - also the hamburger solves everyone's hunger when they eat it, whereas Civ will satisfy only a certain percentage of those who play it). Except it's a bad deal because you can do better.

Point is, the value of Civ3 is average - it has been bettered by many games on the market, and is in turn better than some others.

iF you enjoy the game, it is very good value for money IMO.
If not, then ahh, well, eugh, go try something else...
(s)this happens!! al the time

we ALL bought dozens of things that we dont really like, or hade hoped it would better (not only games)

I think €5 for a burger is extreemly expensive, why?
'cause I don't really like them
