I was 8 or 9 when I got Civ2 MPGE, back in '96 or '97. I've been playing Civ ever since.

I played my first civ game 16 years ago - I was 10 years old. Have playedf nearly every civ version since then.
That's 16 joyous civving years - I guess I'm eternally hooked

16 years ago?
2003-16=1987
Which civ was that.
Surely not Civ1.
Maybe a board version?

We have quite the same experience! 
I find this board game still is a great game and I remember a 12 hours non stop game, the whole night long, a couple of year ago...

Me too. Although I eventually figured it out, I will always think of the settler icon as depicting some helmet with freakishly big horns on it. 
Same thing with the cavalry unit. I thought it looked like some threatening black squid with tentacles and stuff. Probably because the very first cavalry units I saw were barbarian and hence supposedly dangerous and evil.

I don't recall how many games of Civ1 I played to the industrial age, looking at the city screen wondering why all those poodle tails kept piling up at the bottom. :-/
