That is better than the 80 it was going for on Amazon a while back.

such a great game.

such a great game.

It really was.  One of the few games that I literally just played out (played until I couldn't think of a single thing new to do).  Wonder movies FTW!

[Camerus]

I've never played it.  Is it a game that would still be enjoyable after 10 years, or would one mostly just play it now for the nostalgia value?

[Darth Wagtaros]

I still play it every now and then. The movies alone are pretty kick ass.

[barkdreg]

Still a great game. If I see it in a store i'll buy it. Nevrr played the expansion and would really like to play it.

such a great game.

Sure, until the planet wipes out all your sea bases with stacks of 50 mind worms.

Play the Gaians.

The atmosphere is still wonderful. Have they done anything to raise the resolution?

Don't think Firaxis has touched it in many years.  I wish they would have.  Civ3 was trash.  AC2 would be awesome.

I googled and there seems to be a config edit that works for people.

Hm, I wonder if it will run on Vista 64....

We won't see SMAC 2 while EA still has the rights.

[Tamas]

it is not complete yet but you guys should really try Planetfall, the AC mod for CIV4:BtS
