Civilization III

Does it work on Windows Vista?

Also, would Civ IV run on a system with a 1.7 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 32 MB Nvidia graphics card? I want Civ IV but am worried it won't work well with my comp (as it fails the minimum requirements in the graphics card area; I was able to play the demo, but wasn't able to run the tutorial and am thinking that the game probably wouldn't run that well when more is going on than just one city).

Try using DOSBox to run it.

hmm not sure if Dosbox would be any good for CivIII

Possibly you could try , going to the folder its installed in , finding the civ3.exe
file , right clicking on it , and go to properties , compatibilty , set it to XP sp2 and also run as administrator.
Sorry I'm not at a vista machine , so you'l;l need to fish around to find exactly where those settings are.

Also it might be worth patching it to the latest version http://www.civ3.com/en/

some people who've been able to get it running:
