Civilization is one of the oldest video game series that is still going strong. The seventh installment is officially out, but let’s see the release date and PC system requirements for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII.
The first Civilization game was released in 1991 for MS-DOS and was later revised to be playable on various platforms in the early nineties. Colloquially known as CIV, it was developed first by MicroProse and then taken over by Firaxis Games.

It is one of the most beloved strategy games of all time and the seventh major installment was released.
