LOL! You know what really gets me, though. I played the hell out of Civilization, but the one I keep going back to over and over is Alpha Centauri, also by Sid Meier, and much more interesting, I think.
I can still hear the voice acting in that one in my head for the technology tree. I have to play that game once a year at least, just to hear the voice acting. I play it for about a month until I get sick of beating everyone to death with the Locusts of Chiron. I ALWAYS play the cut scenes and savor the voice overs.
"Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true
rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has
always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save
us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of
evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest
of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore
he must exist."

Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all?

"But for the Grace of God"
"We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?"
