Civilization is a global strategy game released in 1991 by MicroProse under the direction of Sid Meier, who weighs as legendary within the industry. It is one of the most popular and most successful games of all times. The player has the task to guide a tribe from the New Stone Age through the history of mankind up to the present and to the colonization of a new planet. Civilization is considered the most important game in the global strategy genre.

We all love Civilization. But it had a considerable flaw. It is a game of the 16-Bit era and made it to Amiga, but not to the C64. We cannot tolerate this. With “8 Bit Civilizations” (working title), Fabian Hertel presents an impressive fan remake of the classic for the Commodore 64. A playable demo version is available as a download, of course at no cost. Please send in bug reports (including a save of your game!) and other feedback to: 8bitciv_at_gmail.com.
