You can win this game without ever initiating offensive military action. I've been a strategy gamer since 1975. I've been a computer gamer since, oh, 1987. I have been doing this awhile, you might say. I ought to have an idea of what's good.
Civilization is a game that truly stands the test of time.
This game is nearly five years old and it is still the most interesting and replayable game I own. This includes any of the Quake series, Unreal, and all the other shooters. It s more fun than any of the brand new EASports games. It even outshines all of the current RPG favorites, Diablo, Baldur s Gate, and Icewind Dale. Addictive, works well, easy to learn.
