Survey: How many Sid games have you played?

[Jeje2]

I just noticed Yin's message in the ohter thread. It got me thinking of which Sid games I have played and so this survey.

First I quote a part of Yin's message (+add SMAC&SAMCX):[list=1][*] Silent Service (1985)[*] F-15 Strike Eagle (1985)[*] NATO Division Commander (1985)[*] Conflict in Vietnam (1985)[*] Crusade in Europe and Decision in the Desert (1985)[*] Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987)[*] Red Storm Rising (1987)[*] F-19 Stealth Fighter (1988)[*] Gunship (1989)[*] Railroad Tycoon (1990)[*] Sid Meier's Civilization (1991)[*] Sid Meier's Covert Action (1991)[*] CPU Bach (1993)[*] Sid Meier's Colonization (1994)[*] Sid Meier's CivNet (1995)[*] Sid Meier's Civilization II (1997)[*] Magic: The Gathering (1997)[*] Sid Meier's Gettysburg! (then) Antietam! (1997)[*] Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri + Alien Crossfire[/list=a]

So how many of these have you at least tested?

Well I'll start.
I have tested/played numbers 1, 6, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16 and 19. (8/19)
Numbers 1, 6, 11, 16 and 19 have taken way too much of my valuable time...

The one game I hope to test in near future is number 18
(Haven't found the Civil war collection near me ... jet)

What makes this so special to me is that I didn't know who had made these games until the www.alphacentauri.com site was opened. It was quite a suprice to me discover that most of my favourite computergames was from Sid.

Well,

Sid Meier's CIVILIZATION

and

Sid Meier's CIVILIZATION II

and that suffices to make me a fan!

(I played SMAC at a friend's house and just didn't feel like buying it.)

[Koyaanisqatsi]

I've played 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19...

And, yeah, Sid's taken too much of my life, too. When I'm old and gray and look back on my youth only to find my memories consist of nuking the Indian capital so they couldn't launch their spaceship, I'll know who to blame...

[Yog-Sothoth]

I have played: 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19. I guess that makes me a Sid Meier fan to

[Snapcase on Snapcase]

Not a single one, to any serious extent. Civ, RR Tycoon and Pirates, for a few hours each. For the ones I've played more, I consider Civ 2 and SMAC Brian Reynolds Games.

[Nikolai]

I have played no. 6. Pirates!(I didn't understand this game), 10. Railroad Tycoon, 11. Civilization I(much the last two years), 14. Colonization(the same time as Civ I), 16. Civilization II(just once, I was young(I am that now too ) and didn't understand the fun. Well, I do it now, but I can't find any place they sells it.... So, I just have to wait until Civ 3 comes! ) and 19. Alpha Centauri(often, it is better than many in this forums think, well not all of it , but much .

Sid is the best, Sid lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
(I have to calm down..... )

6,10,11,14,16,17,18,19

all but Magic:the Gathering have been very good

I do not own 18 but might purchase it later this year (firaxis sells both for 40 and it is a fun game)

I also do not own smacx but plan on buying it later too

I am not sure if you can count 16 and 19 as Sid Meier though

Railroad Tycoon (1990)
Sid Meier's Civilization (1991)

[Darkknight]

1 Silent service and later the 3-4 sequel silent hunter

I havn't played that extencivly since I've never had any one on one computer for an extended period of time, and right now I don't even have access to Civ 2, so I guess you can only call me a part time fan (even though I partisipate avadly on this forum).
