If you're never played the Civilization games, the tutorial is a worthwhile venture, but if you're familiar with the gameplay, we recommend skipping it.

While the tutorial is solid and the provided map is large enough to be interesting, some frame lag in combat sequences and nasty behavior after finishing your game keep the demo for the prestigious strategy game from earning a top rating. The demo offers a tutorial featuring a cartoon Sid Meier himself, and a 100-turn game as the Incans, Greeks, Romans, or Indians. There's no way they'd work on newer operating systems, and I haven't had a disk drive for many years, and some of those old ones were glorious, even today, so it's well worth it.Īnd really, all those games frequently go on sale, so you aren't paying more than a pittance for them (sales going on right now on both gog and steam).Sid Meier's Civilization franchise is considered one of the greatest computer strategy games of all time, and the fourth iteration in the series aims to take the gameplay even further with improved graphics, more accurate combat-unit "strength," seven religions, and new diplomatic options. It's even more important with the old games I still have physical copies of that were on 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch floppy disks. Just download and play whenever I feel like.

Gog is great at making the games compatible for modern operating systems, so I no longer have to worry about any compatibility. My new pc doesn't even have a cd drive, so I'm fairly happy to have them digitalized. I had that problem some years back, but eventually broke down and bought some of the games I wanted to play again on gog.com instead of steam.
