Not in a long time.

Good memories though.

I was playing it not to long ago. Its harder to stay interested after years of Civ2.

Where did you find it?

MattHiggs · April 15, 2001, 08:48

I still play Civ 1, I have it on CD with Railroad Tycoon. They are both excellent little games!

There is a civ1 section over at civfanatics headed fy TTG

Shaka Naldur · April 16, 2001, 07:07

check in the civfanatics forum

I think that somebody could send it to you

I agree, and it loses a lot because it doesn´t have the cheat mode

Cavalcadeus · April 16, 2001, 20:42

There is a cheat mode but it is not menu activated. I forget how to use it though.

when i had civ i it was something like shift 1234567890 and than T. I think.

I still love civ1. play it now and then, when I can take myself away from "Forever War - The sequel"

I think they list the cheats in the civ1 section on this site, don't they? they did when I was last there. I got some good civ1 strategies there, too.

Father Beast · April 17, 2001, 06:38

Yup, it's all still there. go to the civ1 section, and select FAQ's couple of cheat places.

Love this game, gonna go back and do a civ1 OCC again....

Yes, I still play CIV1... last night, I played as Numenor on a random map, on Prince level.. although some barbs had destroyed my 2nd and my 3rd city, I managed to arise from the ashes and build up a huge empire, ending up with a nice spaceship, about 80 armors in 8 cities and only one civ left... the russians on another isle... was a nice game

Father Beast · April 27, 2001, 21:34

I've been doing a little OCCing with civ1. it's a tad more difficult because finding a 3 special spot is dang near impossible, and so few of the specials are for trade. can't seem to get my beakers above 320.

yes, still lots of fun for a quick game

Chris1111 · April 27, 2001, 22:03

I've always had problems with Civ1. For some reason units in my cities would dissappear for no reason(yes they had shield support). Other times my cities just would stop working until I put a unit inside them... and when I did that it would say I conquered so and so city and yet it had always been under my color/control. Probably a patch out there I never got that fixed it.

Cavalcadeus · April 27, 2001, 22:59

Once while playing Civ1 I captured a Greek city that still had Greek units inside. They moved out and attacked my units.

Juggler · April 29, 2001, 14:15

I play Civ1 occasionaly (every couple of months) and I still like playing it. The game is boring in the beggining when you are still a young civilization with few cities and at the end of the game (democracy, building space ships, growing in size and trying to score as many points as you can). But you can quickly get addicted to the game if you are a king or even an emperor. Even though it is very old it is still brilliant.

I tried that (twice). The archive fails a CRC check when it's decompressed. Any idea where else I can get a copy of Civ for Windows?
