Thing is though, they never really captured the originality of the original for me.
When Civ was the only one out, i spent hundreds of hours on it. The others had better gameplay, and snazzy graphics, but the sheeroriginality of the first one just cant be beaten for me.
Itwill always be on my favourites list, right up there with Masters of Orion and Masters of Magic
Civ I -- THIS IS AWESOME
Civ II comes out -- NO WAY, CIV 1 JUST ROCKS SO HARD, I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE
*play Civ I for another year* -- OKAY, FINE, I GUESS I'LL TRY CIV II, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LIKE IT
*it rocks, I never play Civ I again*
Civ III comes out -- NO WAY, CIV 2 JUST ROCKS SO HARD, I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE
*play Civ II for another year* -- OKAY, FINE, I GUESS I'LL TRY CIV III, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LIKE IT
*it rocks, I never play Civ II again*
Civ IV comes out, some kindly relative gives it to me as a gift within a few months after its release -- NO WAY, CIV 3 JUST ROCKS SO HARD, I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE
*waited the requisite year*
*got into Total War series*
*now half of a decade has gone by*
*still haven't installed Civ IV*
not sure what to feel
