Sid Meier's Civilization is a timeless strategy game that provides a rich and immersive experience. Its historical accuracy, customizable civilizations, and rewarding gameplay make it a must-play for strategy enthusiasts. While the learning curve and lengthy play sessions may be challenging, its replay value and strategic decision-making make it a standout title.
Despite being an early title from the Civilization series, it holds a special place in my heart and surpasses even the newer entries. It is probably my most beloved and frequently played MS-DOS title. It's difficult to articulate what makes it so exceptional, but its charm and appeal are undeniable. From the retro graphics to the diverse nations, this game captivates me. The only thing I miss is the inclusion of Portugal, given its unique historical significance. Nevertheless, it's worth noting, that during the time period represented in the game, Portugal and Spain were under the same king. As a result, playing as Spain can somewhat be considered as being playing with Portugal in a historical context. Colonization remains one of my favorite games of all-time.
