If you don't have a machine that runs XP or Windows 7, don't buy it! It will not run on Windows 8.
Great gameplay - I've played this a TON, maybe more than any other game on the PC. I even like this original version more than the updated game based on the Civ IV engine. Great soundtrack (although after 7 or 8 ours of non-stop play it does get a little repetitive, LOL).
