You can always pick up a cheap thin client on ebay… quite a few of them will run dos.

You would be best running dos 7 on it.

This was the first PC game I ever played. I still find it to be a lot of fun, although my reflexes are not quite the same as they were in the 1980’s when I used to play this all the time. I can still beat my kids at it though! The original Atari 800 version has nicer graphics and sound then the dos version. My favourite is still the dos version though, because of the nostalgia of playing it.

I’ve actually won this game in the past! It is very important to keep your health and bank account up. You will die a lot until you get used to the rules…

Thanks! This game is indeed intimidating, having never played it before.

Civ 1 is an absolute classic! I still go back to that game per than any other Civ.
