This is just an amazing game.
I still play it quite regularly. I have an old Mac mini in a back room that I keep explicitly for that purpose. When the original machine gave up the ghost, I shelled out a couple of hundred bucks for a "new" obsolete mac mini just to be able to keep playing.
And I will do it again when this one dies. Such a great game. I also play Civ II on this machine occasionally.
Part of the magic is how simple the game play is relative to more modern games.
- cik 7y agoDon't know if it helps - but it's on Steam, and even behaves on Linux. Hell the emulation is painful enough that even the real waits are part of the game.
- cabalamat 7y agoIf you have the original DOS .EXE, it runs without problems in DOSBox on Linux.
- darkmighty 7y agoI've played it recently and the waiting times between actions made it put it down. It's incredibly slow to do anything substantial. It could probably be fixed through a speed up button in an emulator, but I didn't go the trouble. As much as it seems like a solid strategy game, there are better modern alternatives. It was nice for the historical perspective though.
