Something come to my mind when playing a MP game of Civ3...

You remember in Civ I, when a great wonder was build by another country in the earliest part of the game, something like that was said " Travellers report that China build Great Wall" with a "nice" illustration of deck and boat... it was cool cause now you just see "The China build Great Wall"...

I know this is a pointless post, but some old feature was pretty cool...

Nice day everyone|!

No not pointless, I agree with ya and I find moments like this in lots of games. Maybe I am getting older but it seems hard to find a game with the same spark as I experienced in the past. The good old lose your self kind of games. Civ 3 is one of the closest.
I guess you could call this a pointless reply J

Try Unreal 2. Great plot, nice in-game cutscenes, lame jokes, funny characters. I don't like shooters but this game really has THE spark.

the graphics look somewhat primative alongside a newer game, like... say... Unreal 2K3.

Admittedly not the same genre, but still...

oohhh yeahhhhh...

640 Kb of conventional memory always win... how many time you had to change your config.sys and autoexec.bat just to free up some conventional memory... i remember some game needed 590 kb of conventional memory... you had to run memaker, create EMS memory and load all in upper memory if i'm not wrong...
wow, that's was so great. Config your soundblaster... or your adlib for midi... in this time power was giving to the users. A multi config.sys and autoexec.bat for each game you played.
Computer was not friendly user.... wow, i am in loved with that elitism DOS System.

such horror stories I remember with fondness!

I still like to play an ocassional DOS game once in a while, mainly Ultima VII which could never be run from Windows. Too bad Mr. Gates got rid of DOS for WinXP. At least I installed winME/winXP at the same time.

Thing about Civ1 that most cracked me up:

A powerful Despot Russia during negotiations. Stalin with with 4-man goon squad in the background (those guys looked like drug dealers) telling me those immortal words:

I HAVE DECIDED TO RID THE WORLD OF YOUR PATHETIC CIVILIZATION! PREPARE FOR WAR!

Forget all the things, all the detail, just think " about what is your feeling"
What is the Best Civ?

... I think Civ I was the best Civ ... The problem is, I will never come back to Civ I. Maybe I get to come back younger

In case you didnt know (I'm not trying to be patronizing) that settler is an oldfashioned covered wagon that moved people out West in the US during the 1800's

What do you mean WAS ???

I still get goosebumps when I think about CIV 1 and seeing those images again...aaaaaaa

....I remember that I used to have to watch the whole of the start-up sequence (..up to the modern world) until I upgraded my old IBM PS2 model 30 to a 486sx25.Then it would just get to the dinosaur era and the game would start.

..listening to the music with the PC speaker, before I got a soundbaster... good memories

Amazing looking at that setup screen; we still have the same basic choices, huh? The more things change the more they stay the same.

Weren't the number of people behind a leader a measure of that Civs relative strength? Little things like that... I miss.

That is how your Palace looks as an "overview." As you add to your Palace, the image will change/grow.

I do miss this feature in the later civ games...

Ah the palace. It used to bug the hell out of me because it took so long to load up with floppies (I had Civ1 on the Amiga). I always used to disable it, it never did anything anyway.... as far as I could tell anyway
The best thing I remember was the music. It might not have been on the PC version, but on the Amiga, when you discovered an advance or built a wonder, it played a bit of music for the civ you represented. I always played as Germany simply because of their kick ass music! Again, as far as I could tell, there wasn't any differences between civs on that version.
