I

Sid Meier's Civilization

never got into Farmville, Mafia Wars or just about any Facebook games. The only two I’ve really taken to playing casually are Scramble or Scrabble, but I am expected that all to change this June when Civilization comes the Facebook.

Civ II is my favorite game ever ever.

I spent the better part of the summer of 1997 playing that game each night into the wee hours. One night I played so long I was exhausted when I rolled into my internship. Seeing me looking not so good, they told me I should go home and feel better. I did just that, sort of.: I went right home and hopped back on the computer and played an extra six hours of Civilization, and it did make me feel better.
