I finally got around to picking up the Civ Chronicles boxed set. If you're like me, and didn't discover Civ until Civ III, you won't be disappointed. Its so cool discovering how the original Civ was 90% gameplay, 10% graphics. It also reminds you what programs looked and acted like at the birth our good friend, the personal computer. I'm playing a space race game from each version of the game, in chron order, just to see the overall evolution of the series. I'm actually gaining a better understanding of irrigating tiles and balancing food with production, and getting that from the older games! The city screen in Civ IV makes so much more sense to me now.
So even though I already own Civ III and IV, this was the best game I've purchased in a long time. I figure its my small way of supporting the enablers of my civaddiction. Check it out.
(And "no," I am not a Firaxis employee, although I play one on TV.)
