Solver asked what title you started with. While that info is very informative, I love to hear stories from people about the first time they played civ (any version), moo (any version), etc. and how addicting that first time was.
And I wouldn't be a good host if I didn't start us out with a couple of my own stories. First from my own experience.
After a concert, my friends and I were hanging out at Steve's house (name changed to protect the guilty
) and he booted up the civ game on his IBM showing us how to play. We all watched for a while, and it didn't seem like anything special, but he gave me a copy of civ to try out on my own that night.
I don't remember the exact time I started playing, probably sometime between 11 pm - 1 am, but I do remember in my first game I played as the Zulus down in Africa and without the aid of a manual enjoyed every minute of it.
As the one more turn syndrome wore on, I could see the light of day become brighter and brighter through the window behind the monitor. Becoming too tired to continue, I looked at my clock telling me that it's 7 am and I laid down on my bed dreaming of my next moves before falling asleep. Waking up 5 hours later, my mind told me, "gotta play civ" and my obeying body booted up civ once again.
But the better story is my friend Gary (name changed to protect the guilty). He got a copy of civ II from his friend and began playing it that same night. He called in sick for the next 3 days.
And it's stories like these that keep my brother from even trying a game of civ, but that's another story.
