Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

Played the demo until like, 7am once when I had nothing better to do as a kid.

Good by console standards, but this is a terrible 4X if you play computer ones

I played the fuck out of the demo too. Probably more entertaining in that package, trying to win in the limited time, than actually buying it

A perfect entry for newcomers to the series. This is what introduced me to Civ, at least. Not good compared to the mainline games, but I don't think it was meant to be as good as those anyway

vouch for this game being a great entry point into the series. this was my first civ game and i played the hell out of it. i have since played the PC games which are a lot more intricate (and a lot more fun). i imagine civilization revolution would be pretty lackluster for a player who already had experience playing the PC games.

Msot of wat i remember doing in this game was spamming the "press x to rush for gold" mechanic every turn Lmao

Now that I've played Civ VI this game pales in comparison. But regardless I have fond memories of me and the homies spending a weekend online. We played it even up to the mid 2010s when one homie of ours still had his copy and we would smoke up and play this game until it got dark. We did all we could to break the game's already broken mechanic, lol. Also this was the first game I ever got all achievements for and I even remember being so addicted to this game that I even downloaded the mobile version in my iPod touch. Classic fun and also easy to pick up for newcomer to the series :)
