Played Civ3 last weekend. I was inspired to play as Pen mentioned that she can’t install Civ3 in their home. Am getting a little bit rusty playing PC games. When Pen bought her PS2 2 years ago, I knew I will be playing more console games than PC games.
Civilization is one of the first games I played in the PC. I am no expert but I can put up a good fight. The only thing I hate in Civilization is that when you start playing, you have to finish it - give or take 3 hours of play. I can’t just save the game and continue the next free time. By then I have forgotten my tactics and would be playing recklessly.
It’s more of a mind game..just like playing chess. You need to have a strategy and tactics and not skills/reflexes on the keyboard. I remember playing 5 hours continuously with the early versions of Civilization. My cousin Nandy even has a map of technologies we should pursue.
Later on when we got bored with the basic version, we installed the add-on packs - scenarios. Scenarios are re-creations of the World Wars or other periods in history. Then we even had the alien add-on - you have to conquer the universe not just the world. 
Sigh.
Those were the times.
Now, I barely have time to play games.
