Now playing... (games)

I used to play Civ 1 long before I learnt English and didn't really understand much of the gameplay mechanics.
I was a despot throughout the whole game, I had no idea my treasury was a thing, so I never had any money and every turn some building got sold and I kept building them over and over again, there were riots in almost every city in almost every town etc.
Somehow I always managed to win easily by domination. Years later I decided to play it again, this time knowing all there is to know about the mechanics, I thought long about each move, made the most of my cities and units and... failed miserably every time.

I used to play Civ 1 without knowing English almost at all :) . And I think I learned like 90-95% of mechanics on my own, as a kid.

I remember Civ1. I had no idea how to play, but I was happy when I saw awesome animation of buildings construction. Or Master of Orion (2? I believe) - same here, but I was excited on fight screen :D

I would give a lot to be able to play Ragnarok again. Come to think of it, it really plays a lot like DoomRL, though I think combat was restricted to melee. Imagine a VGA version of DRL, with vikings instead of marines.

I lucked with a russified Civ1 available to me (of course pirated from somewhere, but at that time I wasn't aware what is it, and frankly no legal market existed at 1991 here, especially when it comes to localizations, they are made by enthusiasts and either sold or redistributed for free), so I had an easy time figuring out mechanics. Eventually I migrated to english Civ1, since I had a semi-native knowledge of English thanks to studying it while being 4-5 years old, and some more nice features were rediscovered :)
With Civ2 I started with englishversion at once, and while struggling at first have managed to get a ridiculous 342% rating in a huge game, ending with about a hundred cities and a complete boredom and anticipation at playing this anymore.
