For those of you who missed my thumbnail sketch of the entire series in the Civ Chronicles, Benj Edwards from Vintage Computing has done a bang-up job on the original game for Gamasutra. Edwards contacted me early in his research, wanting to make sure that he was covering the bases and that he wasn’t simply duplicating stuff already publicly available. Would that all game historians were so thorough.

His history is thorough and well-written and certainly worth reading through the 10 pages. (The last half is an interview with Sid Meier.)
