Which Sid Meier games have you played?

[Zopperoni]

Civ 2 and 3, played 2 a lot (more than 3), SMAC (very little though, I didn't like it), and SimGolf (great entertainment for three days, then it gets boring really).

[General Ludd]

Sid's just on a giant ego trip, isn't he?

All this "Sid Meier's...." I bet he doesn't even care about the game anymore, he just wants to see his name filling the store shelves.

[Zopperoni]

The producing companies like his name on the box as well

[Smash]

I didn't know he did Silent Service.I loved that game.

He does care about SimGolf.Or at least he did for awhile.

[Urban Ranger]

You missed one. SMAC/X, aka Alien Crossfire

MtG is a Sid Meier game... never knew that. I never liked it too much, I wonder if I had taken up to it seriously had I known this.

Same here, have played about half of them but haven't even heard of the rest.

Not the card game, but there is a computer version of it where you wander around this little map and duel various opponents. The goal of the game is to defeat the 5 masters in each of the colors. There's a Red Dragon who uses primarily red cards and so on. You have to duel your way through the masters' castles to get to them.

Yeah, his flight sims were revolutionary to the industry and gave birth to Microprose. His early work was the standards. Why do you think he was able to put his name on the box of his later work?

[Grumbold]

Sid Meier was contracted in by the developers at a late stage to help give the 1 player "campaign" part of M:tG some life. The rules, concepts and structures for "planeswalkers" were already in place. It hardly qualifies as a Meier game in the sense the others do.

[Alex]

I played Civ, Civ2, Civ3, RRT, Pirates! (a game that NEED to be remade), SMAC, Colonization and SimGolf (as Zop said, great fun for three days).

But we have to remember that Civ2, Col and SMAC are Brian Reynolds's work, and Civ3 is Jeff and Soren's baby.

Whose played CPU Bach? I have never been able to locate a copy to try out.

Me. Played it only a short time though. My problem is in locating 3DOs.

In addition to CivII, CivIII and SMAC, I've played TOT -- which really did desrve its own slot.

Sid was gone from MPS at the time of ToT's release. You can argue it should be in the poll, but all other choices deserve to be up there more.

No I didn't. I left out expansions on purpose. He was also more into Dinos! at the time to be bothered with SMAC/X.

He had the same level of input in MtG as SoS. I put it in because he had a significant part in poth.

[Adalbertus]

I played the seven with most votes: Pirates!, RRT, CivI, Colonization, CivII, SMAC, CivIII. Given the fact that I don't like pure war games and rarely play sport games (and if so, mostly sport manager), that's quite a high ratio.

How did it work? Did it produce music that seemed like it could be songs? I have always been interested, wish a PC release would happen...

I read somewhere that basically said that if Sid had not come in on this project it would never have been finished. The changes he made allowed the game to be playable and complete.

Actually it works much like many of the music makers of today. The music could easily be songs. Some good, some bad.

It still would have been released, but it just would have sucked horribly and there probably wouldn't have been many expansion packs, if any.
