I finished my most recent game of Civilization III Complete in April. Since then, I had not put the CD into a computer. I decided to take a break, because the game is so addictive! It's so easy to convince myself I can just take one more turn, or just play until the Pyramids are complete, or until I finally have access to horses, or whatever. And then, lo and behold, it's four hours later and I'm going to bed too late.
So, for four months, I went without Civ III. But last night, while everyone was watching Harry Potter 4, I decided I'd be better off playing Civ III than spending $20 to play Magic: Online.
And now, it's started again. I want to play Just One More Turn!
Yet, I know, it's not going anywhere. I could take a break for days or weeks (theoretically) and the game would still be there, in exactly the same spot, when I picked it up again.
Somehow, it still feels like the game is going on without me, and I'm missing something!
Definitely a great game. Definitely addictive.

One of the best games of all time!!! I usually play until the steam power advance. If I don't have coal, I'll sometimes just quit and start over. Recently I played a game on chieftan level but with every single option random (so I had about 18 opponents). Lots and lots of fun! I just LOVE destroying civilizations. Particularly the _______. (You can guess, but I'm not going to subject Steve to the Mujahadeen)
For the record, I finished this game on January 3, 2008. I achieved the highest rating, and spent 80 hours of play time on it. Four and a half months. That's a long game!
