Upcoming Interview with Civilization Creator Sid Meier
Slashdot has an upcoming interview with Sid Meier, the designer of the ever-popular Civilization computer game series. You can post a question you'd like to have Sid asked and, if it gets moderated high enough, it will be one of the 10 questions posed to this distinguished game designer.
Back in high school I discovered Civilization I; it was installed on a computer in one of the classrooms I was doing computer work for. When Civilization II came ought, I bought that had spent only God knows how many hours on that game. I wonder, collectively, how many man hours Sid Meier is responsible for “wasting.” :-)
Over the years I've tried out some of the free versions of Civilization - FreeCiv and C-Evo. I really liked C-Evo, and spent too many hours on it, as well, over the past several years. I picked up Civilization III a year ago or so and played it for a couple weeks before losing interest. (To be fair, I haven't played C-Evo in quite a while.) Civ IV is slated to be coming out soon... don't know whether or not to give it a shot. Probably will eventually, once the price comes down.
