Your good for a laugh yourself.  PC Gamer also rated Galactic Civilizations 
a score of 78 out of 100, which is mediocre.  This from a magazine that has 
4 to 6 Editor's Choice Award winner's(88 out of 100) A MONTH.  Also, I've 
been playing with '95 and the dos-based DOOM runs under it just great.  On 
a 486-33 with 8 MB RAM no less.  I just dbl-click the icon in Explorer and 
away it goes.  No slow-down, no reconfiguring, no rebooting, no special new 
version for my OS, no worries.  I also tried WinDoom, but dumped it because 
the version I have doesn't have multi-play. However, the graphics are good 
and it ran great.
