I'm 38 and been playing Civ2, then SMAC, now Ctp2! I play after the wife and kids go to bed till about 2 or 3am.

[JamesJKirk]

Well I guess I'm not that bad, I just turned 19, and I used to play Civ1 wayyyyy back in junior high

[dainbramaged13]

im 13, and i got civ2 when i was 10-11 i cant remember. I DID understand it very well. i got ctp for my 12th birthday. btw, i object to the feeling that rts is a kiddie genre. there are some very good rts games.

Im 35, new to turn-based civ games, and happy to see so many "youngsters" in here. Just when I thought all you guys did was Ecstasy and Quake3 :-)

[Stratesford]

im 20, i think...

[Stratesford]

yeah, ecstacy... Old ravers use acid or shrooms or pcp... Have you guys ever tried shrooms and civ at the same time?

I just turned 32 last month. I have been playing arcade/console/cpu Games since the Early 80's. I became really hooked on Civ II/Smac/Smacx & now Ctp II

29. Got the original Civ on my 386 just in time to (almost) ruin my final university exams. Had to leave the country to break the addiction.

I'm only 15 and the first TBS game i played must have been Lords Of Conquest when i was seven on this old on this old green Digital radiation machine then 2 years later we got a 486 VGA and started playing civilisation when i was 8-9 and loved it then the next year went over to Colonisation which really addicted me then got civ2 when i was 11 SMAC 2-3 months after it came out but i didn't think it was that good.I didn't get C-CTP
but i'm going to get CTP2 in 7 days

Wow! Looks like we have a pretty good mix of ppl playing this game. I feel better knowing that I'm not some freak that has an under-developed mind ;-)

Thanx

Hi All,

I'm 31. I have been playing Civ games since Civ 1 on my old 286. I have a bit of a better machine now. Nice to know I am not the only 30 something that likes this game. TBS games are the only ones that seem to hold my intrest. Everything else just seems so dull. But then I used to play a lot of Chess with me dad when I was still in elementry.

I'm 32. I picked up Civ2 about a year after it was released. It was my first foray into empire-building TBS and I've been hooked ever since.

19+. I played my first CIV game (Civilization Deluxe Edition) on my Amiga 1200.
