Holy crap can you say behind the times, I remember playing this game in high school. What would really be nice is if they added multiplayer and updated the graphics a bit. A game this old should have absolutely no problems running on a G3 (at the time which was touted as a "super computer" in one of the Apple ads)

Blee,

It is multi-player: "Civilization III: Complete includes the original game, Civilization III, plus both expansion packs, Conquests and Play the World. "

Basically they just ported the two expansion packs. The game may be old, but it still fun as hell.

It's about time someone got on the ball with these games. I wonder why MasSoft gave up on the series though...
