However, I wouldn't trust the old PC to run it, the motherboard is in such awful shape I don't know how it still works.
Anyways, this is about what I expected from Maxis, nice low requirements. Great for me, I don't buy the flashy fancy FPS games or whatever. I play turn-based strategy, Sim City and stuff like that. I don't have to spend lots of money on video cards. :D |
Civ 4 had some pretty healthy specs when it was released i think didn't it? I remember my old computer could run it... but by the time you got mid game it took like a half hour between turns. |
Heh... I say I'm a 4X fan, but then I remember I actually only own 2 games. Alpha Centauri and Galactic Civilizations 2. |
Alpha Centauri rules. Assuming you mean Cid Meyer's Alpha Centauri. Wonder if that runs on vista. I wouldn't mind going back and playing a game of that.
If i wasn't so enthralled with being able to play current day countries on a real earth map i'd probably of liked it more then Civ 2. With Alien Crossfire expansion that game ruled.
