    Cool stuff: playing Civ2 on multiple monitors

    This weekend I finally bought a TFT screen and decided to play around with my old monitor acting as a secondary display. Seeing as Civ2 is a proper windows app you can also resize it over two monitors. Here's a pic from my temporary setup playing LOTR:

    Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

      Looks very cool indeed. Can I get your system?

      BTW, has anyone use a TV for playing Civ II? That could be an interesting idea too.

              TVs have a much lower pixel resolution, something like 320x200. They have a lot more colors, though.
