  • Wow, I Installed Civilization on my Mobile Phone!

    Back when I was playing Civ 1 on my 386 IBM PC which speeded along at 16 Mhz and had a whooping 2 MB of RAM, I never thought I'd see this some day.

    That thing is a phone?

    Isn't the screen, like, upside-down?

      It's not really the size of Brazil

      Orientation can be changed in the settings. The screen is 320x240 and original Civ is 320x200, which leaves 40 pixels for the funny on-screen keyboard.

              You need a DOS emulator. I found that this version of DOSBox for PPC works on mine:



              After you install the emulator you start it, navigate to the directory which has Civ1 (or some other DOS game) and run the .EXE. Voila! If you don't have Civ1 let me know.

                Humm, I'm dubious on how well it actually works on Dosbox, on such a non-resourcerich platform as a mobile...
                I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"

                  How many turns can you play before you drain the battery?

                    Hey, what's with all the pessimism?

                    The game runs fast. The phone has a 400 MHz processor and 64 MB of RAM which seems to be enough to run the game in all its glory.

                        Sweet
                        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                          Wouldn't download for me - a screen came up called 'Leech attempt'.



                          Does one need to be some kind of w@r3zd0000d to be able to access this?
