The Original Civilization
game, now dubbed Civilization I arrived on the scene back in
1991 with the 2.6 MB DOS game that started it all
selling 850,000 copies in record time. Later in 1992,
the game was ported to the AMIGA operating system with some
improvements and bug fixes. The original
Civilization left a legacy that is unmatched as it has
spawned the creation of 3 later versions and numerous
adaptations and successful spin-off games.

The game begins it's play in 3000
B.C., the dawn of Civilization. You can choose to play up to
seven civilizations spread across a random generated map or
a premade world (Earth). You begin as one of the
seven, and attempt to build up an empire from a
single settler. Throughout the game and over a turn-based
course of time, your actions in the game determine the
outcome based upon your military, political and economic
decisions. Your goals are to conquer the world and
eventually send a spaceship to Alpha Centauri.
Note: Playable maps and Scenarios
were not included in the Amiga version. Numerous fans
over the years who played later versions of Civilization
began to pine for these extras in the DOS version and
eventually produced a number of files for play through the
creation of 3rd party freeware utilties, but none of these
are available for the Amiga
version.
