I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization.

I was babysitting the neighbours kids one night and their dad was like “kids are in bed feel free to play civ until we are back”

I had no idea what he was talking about and he delayed his date night to give me a tutorial. Gave me the CD rom after because it wasn’t needed to play. Great times.

that is an oddly specific suggestion
Yeah, I think it was the only game he had.
based if true
