I don\u2019t know if it was just a driver problem or if my copy of the game was just corrupt.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m glad that compatibility issues nowadays are not that big an issue anymore. Searching for a driver during the 80s and early 90s usually means writing the manufacturer to send you a copy of the same. Today, all you need to do is look for a device driver finder and everything\u2019s fixed in a jiffy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was looking for an add-on to Microsoft\u2019s Flight Simulator the other day when I chanced upon my all-time favorite game \u2013 Sid Meir\u2019s Civilization.
