This morning I got farily far into a game and at some point one of the Civilization Advances is "The Internet"

The icon they chose? an American flag with Al Gore's face in front of it

ok, I'm one for a good joke but come on, that's been beat to death and debunked a hundred times already.

It's a great game. I'm not really into turn based games, but I liked this. Really only my second turn based game (2nd to MOO3).

It's very polished, great gameplay, good graphics, not too complex, not too simple. Read my Shackreview.

      Moo3 is on Amazon for $3. Moo2 is on for $16. : arsonide
      
      Yeah and with good reason. Moo3 is utter crap while Moo2 is fine gaming. : Chod
  - was it even possible to lose at MOO3? The AI was notoriously timid. : DonkeyPopsicle

- After 100 turns, the game will close and open a "buy it now" website. You can restart the demo. : Balboa

Sweetness! I've been wanting to try this, but the guilt of purchasing yet another game this month was too great.

Been reading these for a week or two, and the pressure was getting unbearable :)
