that would have been helpful if:
1. you put the whole thing
2. i could read german

my internet searches, and forum searches (here and at civfanatics) have come up dry (i did find an interesting post by some guy named andz83 that asked much the same question, but they didn't give him the answer either )

I have civ 1 at home. If I remeber, I will try to copy it from the text file to here sometime this weekend. However, I make no promises.

	Enter the AD-FREE zone

In the beginning,
the Earth was without form,
and void.

But the Sun shone upon the sleeping Earth
and deep inside the brittle crust
massive forces waited to be unleashed.

The seas parted
and great continents were formed.
The continents shifted, mountains arose.
Earthquakes spawned massive tidal waves.
Volcanoes erupted
and spewed forth fiery lava
and charged the atmosphere
with strange gases.

Into this swirling maelstrom
of Fire and Air and Water
the first stirrings of Life appeared:
tiny organisms, cells, and amoeba,
clinging to tiny sheltered habitats.

But the seeds of Life grew,
and strengthened, and spread,
and diversified,
and prospered,
and soon every continent and climate
teemed with Life.

And with Life came instinct,
and specialization, natural selection,
Reptiles, Dinosaurs, and Mammals
and finally there evolved a species
known as Man
and there appeared
the first faint glimmers of
Intelligence.

The fruits of intelligence were many:
fire, tools, and weapons,
the hunt, farming, and the sharing of food,
the family, the village, and the tribe.
Now it required but one more ingredient:
a great Leader
to unite the quarreling tribes
to harness the power of the land
to build a legacy
that would stand the test of time:

a CIVILIZATION!

funny i vaguely remember it too.... i am sure i spent more hours on civ1 than civ2 but i could be mistaken.

civ1 kept me up for days at a time..civ2 for a day...civ3 for a few hours......actually i did put two back to back all day and nighters together to beat civ3 a few times....

civ2 i think is the best though....

I remember it also. Reading it feels more like reciting it from memory even though it has been years since I even played civ 1 much less sat through the whole intro.

When I said I remember it I was referring to back then when I posted the same thread.

Anyway, I seem to have created a monster, everyone in this thread says "I remember! I remember!" now

aaaah, good old CIV I
what's this? a militia coming to my city which is guarded by several tanks behind citywalls.
ok, It'll be fun to see them get killed
HUH?!??!! I LOST A TANK?????

and then there were those weird islands that appeared when your score got to high

all in all, it was a super game (for it's time)
