This is a nostagic review from IE (Interactive entertainment) episode 20, a CD-ROM game magazine.
Multiplayer version of the original Civilization. Single player is still available, but there are a lot of multiplayer connection options. Gameplay is exactly the same as in the original. Beginning 4000 BC with only a few settlers, you build up your civilization by building cities, making discoveries and competing with your rivals. A map editor is included.
