Drinkable Chicken

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… :-)

Samorost 2: This is an interesting little game. Reminds me a bit of The Neverhood. Worth a try.

(For some reason, it also reminds me of text adventures… except it doesn’t have text! :-)
