General video game discussion

[Pale Violet Light]

It’s certainly not any worse than Civ-1 since it came out, I want to say three years later (1994 ompared to 1991).

I fired up the original and am having lots of fun, though I’m pretty terrible. It’s interesting to see the influences from both Civilization and Magic the Gathering. I also like how wildly unbalanced the races are - usually I’m a balance zealot but in this case I rather appreciate the chutzpah with which they threw all concept of balance out the window.

In regard to Master of Magic what I recommend is the massive additional content DLC ("Caster of Magic") for the original that dropped roughly around the same time that the remake came out

I’m trying it raw for now, might give Caster a go later.
