Its Sid Meier’s #Civilization 1’s 35th Anniversary so I've put together a big thread at #CivFanatics talking all things #Civ1 to celebrate!

@thegamechief.bsky.social Hi Brian! Good old Sid Meier's Civilization 2 doesn't make it into mainstream gaming news much these days but amazingly my Civ2 Heroes of Might & Magic 2 mod I showed you & my other Civ2 work has made it into PC Gamer magazine! :) blakessanctum.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/i...

I made it to PC Gamer Magazine.. again!!!

Nine years ago I opened up my latest PC Gamer mag and was stunned to see my Doom & Hexen total conversion mods on the page in front of me. I’ve been getting PC Gamer UK magazines imported…
