Quotes by Sid Meier

• Right now we're working on finishing up Pirates! for the Xbox, we're developing Civilization IV and we've got a couple other games in development that we'll tell you about soon.
• Our approach to making games is to find the fun first and then use the technology to enhance the fun.
• We'd love to do Pirates for the 21st century. People have also asked about Colonization, and a few others.

• I love Age of Empires and I play RTS games all the time, I respect what they've accomplished.
• We think we've got it taken care of now. Multiplayer is something that's hard to do in a turn-based game, especially a turn-based game that lasts a long time, like Civilization.
