CG Online's The Fathers of Civilization (thanks Civilization Fanatics' Center) is a tag-team interview where they chat with Sid Meier and Bruce Shelley, the two major forces behind the creation of the first Civilization game. The interview is lengthy and filled with loads of details on how the game was conceived and designed, including its inspiration in other computer games and the board game of the same name, as well as the influence it's had on so many subsequent strategy games.
