Quite right, U_K. Civ I is DOS. I even have the tips book. Happy

But I still run into trouble about 17-1800ad. My low tax rates..... Laughing

Meh, I usually switch to Fundy for about 10 years or so and raise $20,000+ with the rediculusly high tax rates before switching back to Democracy and spending it all. Wink

Say, Joh Power, I wonder if you've heard of this place called Civ Fanatics...

Starfire...not the best graphics of course, but strikes me as a true DOS game...quite well-designed.

Of course, I've probably only really played about 10% of the games listed so...there's probably better stuff in there.

Wolf 3D, Liero, or Jazz Jackrabbit.

you know? I would have put jackrabbit in my favourites too, if it hadnt been for the horrible collision detection system. until I finished the game, I remember getting stuck *inside* the walls tens of times. andI started getting paranoic. thats why Jackrabbit didnt leave suh a good taste to em. (although visuals+sounds+atmosphere were ultra good.)

Oh my, how could I not mantion ZZT? ZZT's the best game. (if you can call it a game, it's more like a program) But anyway...

Smiley refers to a face, which it does not have. An i said n00b because the phpBB official chat room has been getting to me lately.
