Civilization 1 Bonus Episode Video – SNES, Genesis/MD & Playstation Console Conversions

This bonus video shows you some of the console conversions for Sid Meier’s Civilization 1, such as the Super Nintendo SNES version and the very different 2.5D isometric Sony Playstation version (made from a equally rare Sega Saturn version) as well as a quick preview of a fan made Sega Genesis Megadrive version in the making. This is the first episode in a special bonus series where I try out mobile & console conversions of every Civilization genre game I can. This console conversion video series is a bonus sub series to my main how to play classic Civ genre games in HD video series. To see how I was able to play Civ1 in HD with DOS graphics and sounds see my main tour video here:

Star Trek Infinite Released! (4X strategy Stellaris & Birth of The Federation like game)

I’ve recently been posting about my interest in the new Birth of the Federation and Stellaris looking Star Trek game from Paradox called Star Trek Infinite. Well now the game is out and sure enough the whole release has been a bit rocky with some nasty bugs, but I never play day 1 releases anymore anyway and it’s definitely gonna be a long time before I get to it, so all good lol. Let the patches, DLCs & fan mods floooow and in a year or 2 we should hopefully have something pretty good! In the meantime I’m certainly enjoying their dev diaries and videos!

I love that lovely nostalgic TNG art style of their’s.. There’s something about it that reminds me of  Star Trek TNG Final Unity’s art style (a great old Trek game also covered on my Star Trek Website) in that it was quite realistic but retained a bit of a artistic painted look. Every time I read the ST Infinite dev diaries it makes we want to play good old Final Unity again heh!

Cool ‘first day’ gameplay trailer..

Release story trailer…

Interesting that story wise they appear to be basing it around the yesterdays enterprise alternate universe but presumably before the Feds start losing the war to the Klingons and you get to ‘set a new path’..
Reminds me of a great Civ4 Star Trek mod scenario set in that timeline as well where you gotta try and turn the war around for the Feds. I show it around the 9:30 mark of this video below..

Civilization 1 Bonus Episode Video – Dune Arrakis Scenario

This bonus video shows you more of Autumn Leaf’s awesome Dune Arrakis scenario for Sid Meier’s Civilization 1 (CivDOS & CivWin not CivNet). This is the first episode in a special bonus series where I play Dune universe themed scenarios for every Civilization genre game I can. This Dune scenario video series is a bonus sub series to my main how to play classic Civ genre games in HD video series.

Civilization 2 – Heroes of Might & Magic 2 Scenario Mod Release

After 4 years of work the day has finally come! The Heroes of Might & Magic 2 total conversion mod & scenario created by MetroPolis and Blake for Sid Meier’s Civilization II MGE has been finished and released! Inspired by Tom2050’s amazing HoMM3 mod for Civ3 we hope to create the most HoMM2 like experience within the limitations of the old Civ2 engine. Almost every part of Civ2 has been changed making this possibly the largest Civ2 MGE total conversion mod ever made! It’s 20 years too late but we did it anyway haha! Check out the pictures, video, downloads and full release details below, and if you’re new to the project then check out the old dev diaries below to see how we made this mod! 🙂
