Buying Civilization 2 Gold

[Farazh]

Man talk about baaaad luck!! The conspiracy theorist within me tells me that its some wise guy at Apolyton who bought the copies to spite me.

Can anyone tell me if I will be missing out ANYTHING by buying TOT instead of MGE. As long as I can play the game just like I could with MGE I don't mind. In fact it might even be better because that way I'll get to have MGE plus whatever is added on for TOT.

[Farazh]

Just went to the TOT forum to check if someone had already asked the question about the difference between MGE and TOT. Sure enough it was there just like every other CIV issue under the sun can be found on this site One thing I couldn't find out was whether all the extra features can be turned off or not. If someone could just let me know about that then it would be a great help!

You have the choice of what type of game you want to play when you start the game such as Original, Extended and Fantasy but for that matter you can download my ToT to MGE patch and play MGE.

Test of Time

Faraz, I know that opinions vary greatly, but I actually prefer ToT over MGE. The graphics are a bit dark, especially if you're accustomed to Civ2 2.42 or MGE, but I like the unit animations. You won't get the animated advisors or the wonder movies, but I don't think that's a big deal at all. The neat thing is that you can also play the extended original version, the Midgard (fantasy) scenario, or the sci-fi version. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you go with ToT. I did see 3 copies of ToT at our local Target store.

I'm going to be away for a week, but I'll check back here when I return. Hopefully, if you still need Civ2, I can find it somewhere else.

shucks jsut get a friend to burn you a copy of the damn game... We can rent the games from locla video stores down under, assume you can do same elsewehere... why pay anytihng ofr such an old game.,...

[Farazh]

Cedric seems like you have a patch ready for any and all civ needs. So you're patch allows me to pay MGE using TOT? In that case I don't see any reason not to go for TOT. In the week that rwprice is gone I will try and find it here else he can send it over to me when he gets back.

Rasputin. Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind. If anyone from Microprose minds then I can show them this forum to demonstrate how I tried to do it the legal way. Still its not possible to burn it here because nobody I know has a copy.

Go to www.ebay.com and look for a copy there. Thats how i got mine a couple of months ago. I'm pretty sure most of them will ship overseas.

LoL I've tried to make my patches as adaptable as possible.

I assume you mean play and yes.

[Farazh]

Lrod, thanks for the advice. I have placed a bid. I will keep you all posted.

[Farazh]

Cedric I did mean play. With all this effort in trying to buy MGE I seem to have 'pay' on my mind!

[Rasputin]

cedrics patch is a must... just got afriend to dowload it will try it out this weekend

[rwprice]

Farazh, I'm back in town, and wanted to check with you to see if you're still looking for MGE. Let me know if you are, and I'll go looking again after work. I haven't given up hope of finding a copy yet, so let me know. I'll check this board throughout the day before I leave work.

erm, rwprice, i am loking for the original civ 2 (presuming its the 2.42 one) and would happly ask you to get that for me if the scenario disk add on thing that was released is also availble there, if not, how owuld lil' ol' me go about getting you to get it for me?

[rwprice]

Andy, click the Chips & Bits link at the top of the forums page. They're selling Civ2 for $9.95 (the Windows 3.1 version, which is 2.42, I believe). That's as cheap as I've seen it in stores. I have never seen add-on disks sold separately in stores around here.
