[DarkCloud]

Railroad Tycoon
Civlilization
Colonization
Civilization II
Alpha Centauri/Alien Xfire

Sid worked on Magic: The Gathering?
I didnt play #13 but wasnt that CPU Bach?

[Adm.Naismith]

I played a lot:

Railroad Tycoon (1990) - hot summer, most part of my lunch time every day

Sid Meier's Civilization (1991) - on PC and Amiga

Sid Meier's Civilization II (1997) - first (and last) time I bought a version of a Sid game translated in italian instead of picking the original english version: bad, half-done translation it almost trash my Civ II enjoyment

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri - the reason I started to post on .owo. forum, then on Apolyton - not bad after all

Civilization
Civilization II
Alpha Centauri

[Grumbold]

I never realised he had done so many other things! I was expecting to have played almost all of them.

Silent Service
Sid Meier's Pirates!
Red Storm Rising
Railroad Tycoon
Sid Meier's Civilization
Sid Meier's Colonization
Sid Meier's Civilization II
Magic: The Gathering
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

To the best of my knowledge Sid was brought in at a late stage to tweak the "adventure" game part of M:tG and had nothing to do with anything else. I think he did a pretty good job of that bearing in mind the rather limited nature of Magic vs an AI opponent (build deck, play a match, repeat.) For the same reason I have avoided his ACW titles - I couldn't face fighting the same battle over and over again.

Sid games that I have or have not played with some editorial comments…

6.Sid Meier's Pirates! - yes (sortof)

Started with Pirates!Gold. Civ2 is the only game that I played more than Pirates!Gold.

10.Railroad Tycoon - yes

Among the most-played game of all time for me.

11.Sid Meier's Civilization - no

I actually didn't start playing Civ until Civ2 MGE came out.

14.Sid Meier's Colonization - no

Only lasted 1 hour for me. Conquest of the New World is far, far superior.

16.Sid Meier's Civilization II - yes!!

400+ hours in 2 years (that's a lot for me, considering my limited game time)

18.Sid Meier's Gettysburg! (then) Antietam! - no

Worse games of all time (imo). Sid's Civil War collection is the ONLY game that I returned in 10+ years of buying games. These games are so bad (imo) that I couldn't stand to have them in my house.

19.Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri + Alien Crossfire - no

No interest whatsoever because of their stupid sci-fi themes. Would have been better if these were just complex Civ2 scenarios.

I would have to disagree. It was good to see a new page in TBS. We can debate the pros and cons of SMAC all day, but just a complex Civ2 scenario. I'm sorry it was a great game and totally worth you at least giving it a try.

1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 on C-64 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 on my PC. On my C-64 Red Storm Rising, F-19, Gunship were the best. On the PC Civ 1, 2, RRT, SMAC the best. I would like to see them go back and look at Red Storm Rising for PC.

yikes, i'm surprised more people haven't played colonization. that game imo is just as good as civ1(not civnet though). if you haven't and want to you should search for colonization and abandonware.

Some replys are in order I think

First having the How many in the topic was an error. I should have used Which instead. This isn't a competition, I'm just curious.

Oh, it's just the One more nuke syndroma, nothing dangerous just as long as the military don't pay your paycheck (It is a strange thing, it hits me too every now and then...)

Considering all the Sid stuff lately, thought this would be a good reminder of just how little we have to worry about with Sid in charge of Civ3.
