That was a good game, I spent more than a few hours on that one. Railroad Tycoon was one of my old favourites as well. Sid definitely knew how to make good games! -
I think it was around ten when I first played civ1 over at a friend at his amiga... Or was it 8 maybe... Oh well, the 6-10 option it is.Creator of the Civ3MultiToolComment

Off-topic. Should belong in the general Civ forum.
Anyway...
I "discovered" Civ II in 1997, when I saw it for the first time. Also discovered Civ around that time.

I started playing Civ (bought it in combipack with PiratesGold, Railroad Tycoon and Colonization) around 9 years ago (being 18-19). I immediately got hooked up by it.
When civ2 was released I've immediately bought it and enjoyed it a lot. Moo2 was 'discovered' maybe one year later, loved it too.
Now civ3 player (lately not as much as I'd love to due to lack of time), looking forward to new expansions and improvements.

I was 26, I guess. When Civ I was released, I don't remember if I had a computer back then... anyway, back then I was in my twenties and played mostly RPGs (Ultima VII is my favorite of all time) and racing simulations (World Circuit, what a game!) and Wolfenstein 3D. I only discovered Civ with Civ2, and it was an instant addiction. So much that I even got a copy of Civ I to see how that thing had began.I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

I was about 7 years old....I remember that we didn´t know a word English... but somehow we even managed to win a game on emperor!!!
In civ1, these "answer correctly or your people will leave you" questions occasionally popped up... since we didn´t understand a word of it, we eventually learned to associate the pictures with the options to get it right...
civ1 was the first PCgame I ever played and I was spellbound from the beginning...
I learned phrases like: "Ceremonial burial" (try to pronounce that as a seven year old swede...
you don´t want to hear what we came up with..
)
after having played it for some years I was actually speaking English quite well...(Civ should be used in all schools for studying English, History, Geography and Computer-sciences!! Imagine, I´d actually love going to school!!!
And ever after, sun shone upon the land of Sunshinia...Comment

I was about 12 or 13 when a friend lent me Civ 1. I loved it but I always had outdated computers and it was impossible to keep up with all the software developments. I never played Civ 2 but when the hype started spinning around Civ 3 I got excited again, and I still can't get enough.

I was in my early forties. Loved Railroad Tycoon, thot I'd give Sid another chance. Glad I did. Still playing daily at 54.
