  • Favorite Wonder Movie

    I don't know if anyone ever asked this before though here I go.

    I just discovered my original Civ2 CD and just for the fun of it I decided to check out the wonder movies because with my German FW version I cannot see them.
    I never realised how much I actually missed those wonder movies. Several of them I really enjoyed seeing again after possibly years of neglect.

    So I started wondering what other people might think of the movies.

    Here are my favorites in no particular order:

    The Lighthouse
    The Great Library
    Magellans
    Adam Smith Comp.
    Michellangelos
    Isaac Newtons Uni.
    Darwins Voyage
    Hoover Dam
    and
    The SETI Project

    So what are your favorites?

      Hologram Theatre! Oops!

      Actually, I like J.S. Bach for the music if nothing else.

        I forgot all about those. I always liked the Hoover Dam, because I live near it and have admired it. I do like the music to Bach's Cathedral.

        In fact I think I'll play my next game with the original cd. It's been a while.

          Where is the directory for it? And can I get to it with MPGE?

            I am not sure how long it has been since I last saw the movies, but my favourites are probably:

            Adam Smith's
            Leo's
            Hanging Gardens

                  What does the Manhatten Project look like? - I guess I shall just have to build the sucker just to find out...
                  Hanging Gardens - it means I've won! (just have a tiny bit of sleazing to do first...)

                    Mao and SG1 - you can just use Windows Explorer to look at the civ2/video directory on your CD (MPG too!). Double-click on any of the movies to view them. Numbering is as in rules.txt (00=pyramids, 01=hanging gardens, etc.).

                      Actually I like many of them more becaue of their music. Especially the Hoover Dam and Magellans.

                        Yeah, the music was the best part. I always liked the Pyramids and Leo's.

                          I should check them all out. I think there are some wonders I have never built. I finally built a Lighthouse for the first time ever last game. But I still haven't built Hanging gardens or Marco Polo's.

                            I think I've only ever built the Lighthouse once, and I can hardly remember what it looks like. I'm stuck between the Hanging Gardens and the Oracle for a favourite, followed by Darwin's Voyage and the United Nations (which always reminds me of M*A*S*H* ...) I don't like the Hoover Dam much and King Richard's is a bit boring.
