<h2>Welcome!</h2>
<h5>(For recent changes, take a look at <a href="#new">What's New</a>.)</h5>
<p>The Civilization Page is a repository of information on various games that are
titled Civilization. The first such game was the board game Civilization from
Avalon Hill (actually, I believe they picked it up from another game company).
Avalon Hill then later released an expansion set called Advanced
Civilization.</p>
<p>Sid Meier liked the game, and created the computer game Civilization, which
is published by <a href="http://www.microprose.com/">Microprose</a>. This game
became immensly popular, and as a result, a networked version was later released
called CivNET. Also, Microprose is working on a newer version, Civilization
II.</p>
<p>About the same time Micrprose released CivNET, Avalon Hill released a computer
version of Advanced Civilization.</p>
<p>Those are the commercial products under the name Civilization. In addition,
people have created expansion rules for the board game, and cracks, cheats, and
editors for the computer games. Also, some adventurous programmers have started
work on their own games that are loosly based on the same concept as the Avalon
Hill and Microprose products.</p>
