That doesn ' t mean the game ' s optimised at all . Just because it works good for you , doesn ' t mean it ' ll work good for other people . <| sep |> Honestly , I don ' t know if I ' ll ever again be able to recreate the feeling of playing Civilization II again . I can remember going to a friend ' s house my first year of high school and he was playing it when I got there . He played a few turns with me then we shut it off . A week or two later I was at my uncle ' s house and he had the game on his PC . he gave me permission to play it , and I stayed up until two in the morning taking over the world as Ramses II of Egypt . My mom bought it for me for Christmas that year and by the time I finished high school , I had played through the game as every single civilization . I was always so excited at the end to see the title given to me by history , hoping maybe this time I ' d be know as stravadarius the Magnificent . Never got there . Best I ever did was the Clever , and that took a helluva lot of work . That game was a formative experience for me . This has been a nice bit of nostalgia remembering those heady days . As soon as I get a new PC I ' ll be investing in Civ 6 , but I ' m afraid the responsibilities of married adult life will prevent me from having quite the same experience with it . Runnerup Super Mario World . That game was groundbreaking when it first came out with the Super Nintendo . Edit HOLY FUCK that was 20 years ago . What the hell , man ?
