One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry. -
got my Amiga up and running(for the most part!) recently and had a look at this again - still a great game, made me get out the other sensi classics like SWOS, Cannon Fodder and Sensi Golf(I wonder where Mr Civ got his idea from?).
They produced some (still) great games.'The very basis of the liberal idea – the belief of individual freedom is what causes the chaos' - William Kristol, son of the founder of neo-conservitivism, talking about neo-con ideology and its agenda for you.info here. prove me wrong.

The game was great for its time, even if the sci-fi showdown with laser pistols was a real letdown.
Civ3 feels it has to stack the odds 7:1 or more against you
...and some fools still demand 15:1 or 31:1 or more
To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

It was the first strategy game that was enjoyable to me, that it for sure. I got this even before I got civ 1.Comment

Unfortunately, that's back when Railroad Tycoon and Civ ruled. When was it? 1992?Originally posted by DrSpike
Do try and put the game in it's context..........such strategy games were rare at the time, and there was a lot mega-lo-lo-mania did well. I remember it fondly.

Sounds about right, though I was remembering it a touch earlier than '92.Comment

I'm pretty sure I played Mega-lo-mania on my Atari-ST before I bought a 286 PC. The first games I can remember getting for the 286 were Warlords I and RT with Civ not far behind.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

From an objective point of view Railroad Tycoon and Civ1 were certainly far better games than Mega-Lo-Mania. Better designed, more depth, strategy etc etc...
However, in 1992 I was only 10/11 years old. Civ and RT were too complicated for me and Mega-Lo-Mania filled a very nice war-gaming niche, which is why I have much fonder memories of it (that and the fact that the sound was hilarious ).
Back then Civ and RR were the 'boring games my Dad played'.
