Recently I played a game of Civilization 1. It actually did take a me back to that feeling of awe that I had as a child, except now the sound worked and I was able to read English so I actually knew how to play, which enhanced the experience.
- Gibbon1 3y agoReminds me of playing life on a minicomputer at my dads work in 1970. It's hard to grasp the feeling of seeing that when nothing like it exists elsewhere. Almost everything mechanical in 1970 was a purely mechanical device without a shred of agency. At the heart computers can represent and transform complex structured data iteratively. That was new new 50 years ago.
- blackhaz 3y agoYep, same here. I fire up my 386DX-40 and Pentium-133 occasionally. Civilization 1 and 2 are still beyond awesome. Very playable and loveable games. I play Doom II now more than I did when I was a kid. Mortal Kombat 3 is the best. Windows 95 and 98 are likely the best Window GUI ever for me. Microsoft Office 4.0 is pretty fast on a 386 with 4 MB of RAM running Windows 3.1. At the age of 41 I've bought my first non-pirated version of Magic Carpet and now understand how to play this game. This game is freaking awesome. I can now afford to buy Sound Blaster AWE32 without asking my parents! IRC is still awesome. mIRC and EFNet still work! My life rocks now! (Except web browsing.)

- TylerE 3y agoThere’s actually an SNES version of Civ. Surpassingly playable without a mass, but processing time on turn end is really long. To the point where it’s not really playable past, say, 1700 or so because it gets to the point where it takes over a minute to end each turn and advance.
