It all depends of what kind of routine you used. The problem of random generators in computers is well known now but it was very less so back then.

The problem with the random generators are not really that they are not random... It is rather that they are prone to do long streaks of same numbers in a row. This particularly shows in games like Civilization where the fighting routine is clearly broken as very very outdated units end up winning reliably against vastly superior modern units simply because the modern unit never had a chance to land a single blow. Having this kind of behavior is to be expected sometimes... To have it at least 10 times in every game is broken.
