Call to power really was a “let’s throw everything in there and the kitchen sink.”
It’s a shame they never made a second one, I remember it being pretty good.
They did. It wasn’t quite as good ( awful UI iirc ), but still a decent game. You can get it on gog too
I’m torn between whether they meant they didn’t know there was a second game or if it’s like me saying it’s too bad there was never a second Matrix movie.
More like “RTS is on the rise and we need to grab some of that dorito-stained cash”.
I love that game, I still play it all the time. It’s one of my absolute favorites.

So, does it still run?
Usually there is an issue with glibc or Mesa compatibility.
…Does this game use Mesa?
I am only guessing and extrapolating based on how this usually goes:
- It’s probably possible to get it to run but would take a lot of work
- It’s probably much easier to just run the windows version under Wine
While the Linux kernel usually maintains long term backward compatibility very well unfortunately the userspace (libraries) is a different story.
Looking at the game’s faq the main dependency seems to be SDL. There is no OpenGL or other 3D library requirement. It might also depend on which version was shipped on the CD according to the faq there was an earlier statically linked version (which I am guessing might be easier to get to run) and a later dynamically linked one.
Omg, my favorite civ!
Oh I have that too and it must be in a box somewhere, I’ll have to look for it. Unfortunately I never got it to run back then :(
Did you also have Railroad Tycoon, also ported by Loki?
I have my Loki Games Quake 3 for Linux CD somewhere.
