Older Sid's games that I like: Civ I, II, Colonization and Alpha Centauri.

FreeCiv and FreeCol are closer to the original games than their modern succesors.

Isn't it easier just to run an emulator?

I grew up with an Amiga 500, and had hundreds of floppy disks, but it's slow, error prone, noisy, cant freeze arbitrary state or fast forward ... I find the emulator is better in every way
