Mit der Windows 95 Demo ging soeben mein 444. Upload im Internet Archive online! Das freut mich! Und irgendwie hat es ausgerechnet "Sid Meier's Colonization" diese Woche an die Spitze meiner Zugriffszahlen geschafft mit insgesamt fast 1.600 Downloads. Wieso??? 😜

“An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilisations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop…”

“Sid Meier’s CIVILIZATION was one of the most addicting games of my life… I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Iain M. Banks shared the addiction and that his Culture novel EXCESSION was in part inspired by it.”

—Peter Tieryas on how Sid Meier’s CIVILIZATION helped inspire Iain M. Banks’s 1996 Culture novel EXCESSION

On Iain M. Banks and the Video Game that Inspired Excession - Reactor

Sid Meier’s Civilization was one of the most addicting games of my life.

I have discovered, that I have a few comfort books that I like to read now and then. One has been "Sid Meier's Memoir!" The Chapters are small little nuggets, revolving around how some of his games have been developed, what has been his thoughts and inspirations and with a few glimpses of his personal life, but mainly to show how these aspects have affected his games.
Easy read with some interesting insights sprinkled throughout the book.
