A must have game, both accessible and incredibly rich, released in "AGA" version one year later (with improved graphics, images shown above are taken from it).
Basically, you choose a civilization from a wide selection and make it prosper from stone age to space conquest. It's your job to found and manage entire cities, trade or go to war with your neighbors, discover new technologies, but also remember to ensure the well-being of your people or they might refuse to follow you any longer.

The game takes place in turn-by-turn against one or more opposing civilizations led by the computer. Say goodbye to your friends, your wife, your dog, give up the idea of any professional or social life before you get into thisone. World dominion demands, after all, minimal attention.

For those who have difficulty with the look of an old strategy game, its four disks to change, its loading times, you will also find several updated versions for modern computers.
