Sid Meier's Civilization is a strategy game created by Sid Meier and MicroProse for DOS computers and was later ported other computer systems and home consoles. It was one of the first 4X games to be created, 4X meaning "EXplore, EXpand, EXploit and EXterminate" for your empire. Taking place at the dawn of human civilization, you choose from one of many anachronistic societies from around the world, and your end goal from there on is to either conquer all other societies, colonize Alpha Centauri, or get the best score once the end of time is reached.

For this run, slamo chooses the Romans, has the game generate the most optimal map — with ideal enemy and resource locations — and conquers the world as fast as possible

There is an alternate YouTube encode that slows the gameplay down to 21% to make it easier to see some of the frame-by-frame inputs that may be missing in the regular encode due to YouTube video limitations.
