| Civilization | Microprose | 1991 | High in the Andes, a biting wind howls through the Incas' ruined strongholds. Half a word away, the Pharaohs' tombs lie empty. In Italy, the Roman Colosseum decays. Everywhere, you see remnants of societies that thought they would endure forever. All are dust. But yours could be different. You could be the one perso in history who builds an empire that never falls. That's the challenge of [i]Civilization[/i], the most enthralling "god game" yet developed. From the creator of [i]Railroad Tycoon[/i] - the SPA's 1990 Stategy Game of the Year - [i]Civilization[/i] lets you match wits with history's greatest leaders. You start at the dawn of recorded history - 4,000 B.C. and the founding of the first cities - then nurture your society toward the Space Age. In the beginning, you'll labor to simply survive while building your settlements, discovering new technologies and fending off barabarians. As your empire prospers, you'll face competing civilizations guided by history's most legendary figures: Alexandre the Great, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar and more. Now you'll test your capacity for expansion and domination, your ability to outwit and outmaneuver those cunning and brilliant leaders. Just look how [i]Civilization[/i] lets you build a brave new world.***Reviewed on a special folder about "god games". [22]*** [22]*** [52]*** [37]*** [37] | labelimagesubject |
