This game is a "must be" for everbody who loves the games of the Civ series. I still have the original disks and a cd for 32-bit pcs of the Civ Chronicles compilation - but I cannot run them on my 64-bit pc.
An electronical version at GOG that runs on 64-bit pcs is needed.
I was late to this game. I came from the Mega Drive (Genesis) and had no prior experience with PC games. I played it on my Dads old work Intel 386 Computer. It must be somewhen around 1996. The game was dirt cheap in the gamestore. One or two Deutsche Mark. I loved it. I had no idea what I was doing. But it was fun. At least until the oponents got Nuclear Bombs. Because then with every interactino they threaten me with their bombs and I always lost.
Until today. I still like to play Civilization games. But I totally suck at it.
I played thousands and thousands hours on this game, during a lot of years. I need more of this game because is a masterpiece and is replayable at 100%
And now i need write this to put my comentary. See you in the store ;)
I honestly regard this game as the most influential computer game ever written and it baffles me why so many of the games it inspired are available, but this one isn't.
I almost failed my last year at school because of it, and would love to be easily able to play it today without serious consequences.
Civilization 1 was the first game I played for hours with friends. We divided all the different units among ourselves. Even though we sometimes had to wait a long time for our turn, this new game system was so fascinating that we never got bored. When we didn't fully understand the game yet, we built a really small island completely full of cities. To this day, this remains a fond memory in our group of friends.
Ok, I had to look it up. Why in the world is a game inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame in the second year of its existence not for commercial sale?? That's just insane, especially on the eve of the full release of the 7th title. It created and defined the strategy genre and *then*--with Master of Orion I and II (which I notice are both on GoG)--defined the 4x genre. I mean, what?!?
Dwarf FortressIn this complex construction/management/roguelike simulation, every generated world brings a unique challenge, whether it’s dwarves with their own simulated personalities or aquifers. Observe what makes your civilization fall into eventual decline, and learn for next time… until something else inevitably goes wrong.
The combat model includes skills, body parts, material properties, aimed attacks, wrestling, pain, nausea, various poison effects, and much more.
It’s difficult to convey the depth of the generation. Hundreds of animals and monsters, many of which are randomly created for each world, as well as generated poetry, musical forms, instruments, and dances for your dwarves to practice and perform. A dynamic weather model tracks wind, humidity, and air masses to create fronts, clouds, storms, and blizzards. Over two hundred rock and mineral types can appear, in their proper geological environments.Open world Fantasy 4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate) Sandbox Survival
