I LOVE all the Monkey Island games. I wish they would come out with MI5.

That game really IS great!!! Pretty good sense of humor too!!!

You must try I started in the prehistory age, build my militias and buildings, made irrigation farms and roads, and advaced my technology with different things like, mathmatics, physics, laws of gravity, explosives, chemistry, and then... space travel! You can either win by destroying bad guys or making a space ship by getting all the tecnolgys and flying to alpha Centcuri...? How do you spell it? Well anyways... its a fun game, beat it lots of times. It continues with the game Alpha Centcuri (Spelling?) It also continues with Civ. 2, 3 and 4. Also, there's a game similar to it that you can download at Macintosh Garden. (http://mac.the-underdogs.info/) It's called colonization. You go over from either netherlands, england, spain or france to seek out the new land in the 1500s.

About ... Must have 256 colors on and classic to play Civilization or Colonization. You can switch to millions of colors during gameplay, but the number of population on the citys will go all white instead of black. I photoshopped this picture to make the town populations black. As you can see, I'm the roman empire, took over the french's town, (Their only town, paris) and I was just researching gunpowder when I saved and took this picture. Beware of barbarians, they're red. They rarely do any damage, unless you have no armys in your town and take it over. They're easy to kill with your armys, (bigger change) because they have no town with a barracks where they got trained. Try to get one at the town where you build your units.   Don't forget, to build new towns you need the setler unit. You start out with one, sometimes two. And if you find "huts" in the forests go into them with your unit. You either find scrolls of wisdom that gives you tecnology, men to fight with you, people who want to start a town, or a horde of barbarins who kill you.   Listen to your advisors in your town.

Oh yeah, hurray to who gave us monkey island!

Thanks for the spelling! Did you try Civiliztion yet? 

*sigh* I'm talking about Civ. 1. So what if civ 2 is cool, you have to buy it now! I'm talking about the free classical games! (One or two of these might be stilll shareware, like Farm Patrol)
