Civ3 has been a mainstay on my comp for the past few years, since it came out. Recently I have taken up Civ1 again, if for nothing else, then for the nostalgia of it.

Frankly after slaughtering millions in Civ, I find Doom-like games where you kill one by one a bit underwhelming

I haven't played Civ 1 in a while... it won't work on my newer PC.

I haven't played Civ2: ToT (test of time is the only way to go baby) since I got my new PC either. I lost all my save games and mods when I transfered stuff over.

I haven't installed Civ3 on my new system either.

I've been playing a lot of Hearts of Iron 1 lately.

I have civ1 for the mac (played it on a macII). I bought a pc to play civ2. I had civ3 before the paid-for version arrived by mail . I had PtW the day it came out. I didnt buy or play conquests. Unless it''s completely revamped, I wont buy civ4 and expansion until it hits the bargain bins.

because Civ2 is outdated. The graphics look like ****.

You could say SMAC is outdated, but there is no other game like it, and it will never be surpassed in quality. So that's why I still play it.

Civ1(amiga1200) and Civ2(pc) do still get the odd play now and then, although if i'm feeling like playing something civish i usually end up prefering CTP2+Mods.

Civ is still a great game and it will never die(like man 'o' war songs )

I still play from time to time. I don't get new games often, so I have to stick with all the old favorites. Right now I'm playing this great WW2 scenario, and I'm conquering everyone as Finland.

I love civ, but it's hard to make it work on modern machines. I wish someone could make a program that would make playing civ 1 simple easy and reliable.

Me too, I thought the old graphics wouldn't bother me when I went back but they did, also I'm a great fan of the whole resourse/culture thing on Civ3 (ducks for cover)

I can't wait for Civ IV. Even though the graphics suck, I still consider Civ II a far better game than III because MP in Civ III blows

I am a big fan of culture in Civ 3. I love having borders, and I love watching them grow. I enjoy the Civ specific traits, like the leader heads, and love the fact that there are Civ specific unique units. For my taste, there never was enough Civ differentiation in Civ 2.

I thought that the resource idea was a good one, and can really force you to make tough decisions at points.

I like how they've tweaked artillery to ensure that you can't simply conquer the world with hordes of Howitzers.

The main thing that I dislike about Civ 3 is that the AI civs don't seem to genuinely compete amongst each other. In the end, its always going to be Human vs. a multi-headed AI.

Actually, I could probably stand the graphics if it weren't for the interface. I can't stand it, I especially can't stand the lack of queues.

I occasionally play Civ3 (switched to Civ3 when it came out and never went back to Civ2).

Most of my playing time is for other games, however.
