Sid Meier's Civilization

The game Sid Meier's Civilization appeared in September 1991. For myself this amazing game I discovered in 1995. It was then in our office from somewhere appeared its russified version. And at once my colleagues ecstatically plunged into the world of strategy. Tsiva, ziva ...

Playing at work in the Duke and other shooters and rpg was quite dangerous. Management ruthlessly suppressed such pastime. Tetris was also noticeable.
