Howdy O&S,

I was intrigued by your post so I looked up the Civilization game. Very interesting.

Question: Do you reccomend a newbie start out with Civ 1? The technology looked a little old but if it is a sequential thing I guess I'll start at the beginning.

Thanks.

You will have a tough time getting Civ 1 to work properly. It's not sequential, you don't need to understand the 1st to play the 5th one.

Just try out Civ 5. If you have a console, try out Civilization: Revolution.

Thanks Saul. I'm not a computer gamer (obviously) so dumb question:
what do you mean by "console"?

PS3/XBox 360/Wii.

Civilization V will be PC only. Civ 1, 2, 3 and 4 are PC only.

We have PS3 and Wii. Do you mean I can buy it online through my PS3 at the Playstation store?

I'm saying you won't be able to play Civilization on either of those gaming doo-hickeys.

You can probably go to Wal-Mart and find a copy of Civilization:Revolution for PS3, if you are interested in this type of game.

However, Civilization:Revolution isn't nearly as deep as Civ IV, it offers a similar style of gameplay that you are intrigued by.

And if I'm building a wonder, and I've spent 100 turns getting it built, and it's turn 99 and I'm about to have it and then those goddamn Egyptians just happen to build it THE EXACT TURN BEFORE I DO, you need to know that I WILL CUT YOU. Your cord, I mean. And I farking swear to god that if that Montezuma bastard ends up starting right next to me again LIKE HE DOES EVERY GODDAMN TIME I will set you on FIRE. <b>YOU GOT ME? AND WHY DO I KEEP GETTING GOLD OUT OF THOSE HUTS???? I DON'T WANT FARKING GOLD I WANT A SCIENTIFIC ADVANCE. GIVE ME SCIENCE YOU FARKING MACHINE. <big>AND HOW THE HELL HAVE THEY DISCOVERED FLIGHT WHILE I'M STILL TRYING TO BUILD A MARKET? GODDAMNIT I HATE YOU I HATE THIS GAME FARKING MACHINE JESUS CHRIST</big></b>. <small>OK 1 more turn.
