Why do I still play civ2?

Second version? I never seen the first. Is there a sample of these graphics somewhere? I'd be interested.
They may not be outdated but close. MOM's are outdated. It's a great game, and lately I've been in the mood for it. But it's no longer on my hard drive, and I never owned it. I'll have to borrow it.

Black Bart, to find the first version of my graphics patch, simply go to the Apolyton's Downloads page and search on the name "HiRes".

Why? Because it's not RTS.

BeBro: I posted a comparison between Starcraft and Total Annhilation, but I goofed and sent it to the wrong thread! Please see the thread started by Uncle Sparky over in the 'Comparisons' forum for the post.

I have strained my right eye from playing Nemo's RedFront scenario! I am not kidding!

and that is not a wink.

Recently I started playing Civ2 again. Why? Because I got bored of HiRes NoPlay. It's so simple, yet complex. It's like coming home. Civ2 is like an old friend. Once a while you feel like going back and have little reunion. What I also like about it is that it's familiar. The wonders, city improvements, units. I think SMAC's problem is that it takes place in an alien world and the units and techs are alien. Can't wait for Civ3... and don't even get me started on CTP...

AoK is cool, but gets boring pretty quick, I think. Too linear. Like C&C. Harvest, build units and kill the other guy. I like Civ because it's just as much about the land, politics. Not just war... although wars in Civ can be satisfying :grin:

Being as I am as cheap as they come, I only have had Civ2 for about a year now. I bought it at a Kmart for 9.99 (american), and the only reason I shelled out that much was because I had heard it was such a good game - AND I was addicted to the original Civilization (I don't even want to admit what I paid for that a year before). I also bought FW for 1.99 a couple of months ago.
Still, even with the massive amount of scenarios, mods, maps, etc., I still spend about half my time playing it straight as it came out of the box. It is just such a rush to win out against some situations I run up against. I also like lording it over my opponents when I master them. Even when I get my butt plastered it's still a rush. I expect I'll be playing civ2 until civ3 comes down to a reasonable price.

maybe we'll get a collection going so you have Civ3 before Civ4 is out
