This week we would like to highlight one of the best and earliest managerial, civilization games ever made, Civilization . It only has a passing resemblance to it's Avalon Hill name sake in the board game arena, Civilization still defines the genre of empire building games. Sid Meier has a tradition of taking excellent board games, mostly licensed from Avalon Hill, and heavily modifying or completely abandoning their game system, yet still producing very high quality and extremely playable PC computer games. I am sure people can come up with many others. Take a look and see what you think.
Some people love it, most agree it's awful.
Inside the game industry Daikatana is seen as one of the biggest retail flops of all time. Three years of development and major marketing and distribution blitzes could not save this game. However some people love it and even to this day the game has a small but loyal and sometimes very vocal following. Check it out and see what you think. This may seem like an odd feature, but even some of the worst games in history are important.
