The early debut of a great games...

Forget all the things, all the detail, just think " about what is your feeling"
What is the Best Civ?

... I think Civ I was the best Civ ... The problem is, I will never come back to Civ I. Maybe I get to come back younger

In case you didnt know (I'm not trying to be patronizing) that settler is an oldfashioned covered wagon that moved people out West in the US during the 1800's

What do you mean WAS ???

I still get goosebumps when I think about CIV 1 and seeing those images again...aaaaaaa

....I remember that I used to have to watch the whole of the start-up sequence (..up to the modern world) until I upgraded my old IBM PS2 model 30 to a 486sx25.Then it would just get to the dinosaur era and the game would start.

..listening to the music with the PC speaker, before I got a soundbaster... good memories

Amazing looking at that setup screen; we still have the same basic choices, huh? The more things change the more they stay the same.

Weren't the number of people behind a leader a measure of that Civs relative strength? Little things like that... I miss.

Here's one from the Windows version. I can't remember exactly what was the purpose of that box below the "Status" title bar...

[CrONoS]

****, this was under Win 3.1? No???

That is how your Palace looks as an "overview." As you add to your Palace, the image will change/grow.

I do miss this feature in the later civ games...

Ah the palace. It used to bug the hell out of me because it took so long to load up with floppies (I had Civ1 on the Amiga). I always used to disable it, it never did anything anyway.... as far as I could tell anyway
The best thing I remember was the music. It might not have been on the PC version, but on the Amiga, when you discovered an advance or built a wonder, it played a bit of music for the civ you represented. I always played as Germany simply because of their kick ass music! Again, as far as I could tell, there wasn't any differences between civs on that version.

[Alex]

Thanks, Witt, now I remember...

My memory is a bit hazy, but I thought we got different music for different nations in the DOS version.
