Civ
Saw this preview of Civilization Revolution for Nintendo DS today. I'm most likely going to get it, as I've been playing Civ in various incarnations since 1992 or so.
I am wondering though, did anyone ever make an ASCII art version of Civ? E.g. something with the same rules, but ASCII graphics, kind of like Nethack. It would seem like a natural fit, with its grid-based map and turn-based movement. It's by no means a *trivial* task of course, even without the graphics, but it seems doable.
(It would be an interesting project to do in Chicken, if I had a year to spare, or something... :-)
