What? No SMAC?

[Guynemer]

[LotC]

[DrSpike]

[FrostyBoy]

For $70 thats not bad at all

[DrSpike]

But mainly aimed at either collectors or ppl new to the series I'd say.

[lord of the mark]

not tempted.


Ive got Civ2. Test of Time. If I was still active with scenarios, Id be interested in the other Civ2 versions, but Im not.

Civ3, complete, seems availble pretty cheap.

Civ4 I'll wait for.


Now Total Wars Eras looks pretty tempting.

[Dis]

ahh, now I can get +1's for posting about this.

Can Civ 1 even run on modern gaming machines? I might be tempted to play it. I never have. I already own most of the others.

civnet is not on there, and wasn't there a Civ2 multiplayer XP? I never got that one either. I just wasn't interested in mp.

[DrSpike]

Yeah, Civnet and MGE are omissions.

[Quillan]

I won't be buying it. I already have Civ III and PTW, as well as Civ IV and Warlords. I have no desire to go back and play Civ I or II now. If it included some other masterpieces like Colonization, I might be tempted, but not as is.

Yeah, that would prompt me if I had a few extra duckies available.


and as for the point brought up by Dis

that makes two of us

I started on Playstation with Civilization II

I still remember first time I played like 18 hours..was worse than Crack well..I recovered from Crack addiction

[Kuciwalker]

Wait, without SMAC that's ****ing worthless.

And as I've said elsewhere, I don't want this if they don't just put it all on a single DVD instead of a dozen CD's.

[DrSpike]

Doesn't seem like there is a great deal of takers so far.

Ditto.

Plus I'm like Grandpa Troll (the playstation bit, not the crack bit).

I'll have a look at it, if it had SMAC and the XP for it, then I'd buy it as soon as it cam e out.

Then explain it to the wife....................
