I never played Civilization (got bored of video games when I was 16-17) but Civilization always intrigued me. Maybe I should give it a try. Are there modern versions of the game would the original version still be fun today?

Try Freeciv. It's inspired by the original game and it's open source too :)

I played every new version of the game over the years. In some ways the game changed a lot, in other ways it still remains true to it's origins. You can still get the original version from some sites that specialize in old games. The newest version is Civilization 6 which is available from Steam. The versions I personally enjoyed the most was Civilization 4 and 5.

The full version of Civilization 6 is available as an iPad app, I was delighted to discover this year. Recommended (on any platform).
