Yeah and believe it or not those of us that like the game are cool with 
people not liking it. Well, those of us in the NG's anyway, I'm not sure how 
their forums would take you or someone like Alex, probably a quick path to 
bandom for Alex I'd guess :p

You ever considered loading up JJFFE? As I said before it works flawlessly, 
sound and all, and it's amazing how quickly you get used to the graphics 
again.

Ditto on the Civ3, though I did start up plenty of games only to finish when 
I hit modern technology ages, the start always seemed the most fun. I had 
trouble getting into Civ 4, the raging barbarians that would smack into my 
rear "safe" cities due to a big patch of desert or dense mountains that 
couldn't be colonized kinda pissed me off.
