The Macintosh version of
Civilization arrived on the scene in 1992. The Original
Civilization game, now dubbed Civilization I arrived on the
scene back in 1991 selling 850,000 copies in record
time. Later, around 1995, a Multiplayer version called
CivNet (also available for MAC) appeared in 1995, a windows
version popped in 1994 but very little information is
available about this version. It's legacy is unmatched as it
has spawned the creation of 3 later versions and numerous
adaptations and successful spin-off games.
System Requirements
- Apple Macintosh Computer
- System 7 or higher
- 1 Mb Ram
- Mouse recommended
- Supports Mac Graphics
- Supports Mac Sound
Additionally, CivMac was known
to be sold and packaged with other games throughout the
years as sort of a dual game set. From what is known,
it was available on both 3.5" disk and also on CDROM for
MAC. This version did not come with a map editor or scenario
tools of any kind.
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 MAC version. Numerous fans
over the years who played later versions of Civilization
began to pine for these extras and eventually produced a
number of files in the DOS version for play through the
creation of 3rd party freeware utilties. CivDOS, CivWin, and
CivNet maps are not compatible with each
other.
This
extension fixes a bug in the Mac version of Civ1 so that it
will run on versions of the Mac OS 7.5.2 and newer;
