Normally I wouldn’t talk about games here unless they were genealogy-related (as if there is a large market for them, although MacFamilyTree has a quiz feature for your family tree), but for whatever reason, Aspyr Media is running a couple of really good deals on some classic games for Macs – Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization, and the big one: Civilization IV.
The sale runs through February 29, 2012, and both are currently on sale (as of Monday night, February 27, 2012) for $4.99 USA and Canada (I believe), £2.99 in the United Kingdom, $5.49 in Australia, 3,99 € in France and Germany.
