Civ II did as well, climate changes, through pollution and nuclear fallout, with enough global effect to use it as a strategy against more modernised but smaller rivals.
Such grim game progression was made all the more poignant by the space race game mechanic, where you could technically still "win" by sending a ship with settlers to a different star system which translated in many games to: "We're all doomed, but you were the first to avert complete extinction of the species. You Win!"
