Does anyone still play Civ II?

Bkeela · January 15, 2000, 03:24

Does anyone still actually play Civ II? It is really cute to think there are still some diehard fans plugging away out there. To me, Civ II is almost a retro game now, kind of like playing Donkey Kong original.

Civ II... No, It's no longer on my computer.

But Civ Gold MPE... I play it at least twice a week, and sometimes, even more.
It's still a great game!

I can't wait for Civ III!

poppawoppa · January 16, 2000, 02:34

So, Bkeela, what DO you play?

War4ever · January 16, 2000, 03:02

I have civ MGE on my computer too.... although i must admit civ2 origional is now on the shelf! I game 4-5 days a week when i possibly can but realistically am looking to lock up two nights a week with some other respected and talented civers... Ming Rah Bird Superstar and all the rest ..... Even those silly Aussies

One might ask why are you here, Bkeela?

Yes, I play Civ2 (I have C:CtP, but have only played it twice) good old fashioned v2.42

i always play civ2...with FW scenarios
there's a lot of good scenarios
Civ2 is an old VERY good Game
CTP is a more "recent" game but's not a good game.I sell it 6 months after i bought it

Donkey Kong is a VERY old good game

January 16, 2000, 19:35

Yes, I love Civ2!
Actually's as good as it gets on my 486dx computer...

Kuma no Tsume · January 17, 2000, 09:47

Any time I get the chance.
Had to buy it again last month, 'cause I lost my original.

I must admit I do still enjoy playing the Mars senario. But it does get tiresome not being able to stack production orders.
I also bought Test Of Time, but was pretty dissapointed. My main gripe is that the multi-leveling tends to get very tedious, and I sincerely hope it isn't implemented in Civ III.

Does anyone still play Civ2?!? OF COURSE! That is the one, and only game that is guaranteed permanent residence on my hard drive. It's something that you can keep going back to - absolutely the best game ever.

LordEmperor Platypus · January 19, 2000, 16:21

Of course~!... Got the scenarios (conflicts in civ) and FW loaded on top ... but hey its still Civ II. Havent tried either CtP or ToT yet but may in the future. It sounded like from the reviews of CtP that that version addressed some of the more tedious aspects of the game (I tend to build massive amounts of cities - sometimes over 100 - which makes city management ultra tedious - heck one game can last a month)

So the short answer is again... Civ II stays on the hard drive... maybe for a very long time.

Civ2 is one of the most addictive games I have ever played. I keep going back, playing it over and over. It never grows old!

Barfasm · January 20, 2000, 02:27

I still play occasionally. Sometimes I just get in the mood and play 2 or three games. Then don't play for another month.

Orz · January 20, 2000, 10:42

I aquired Civ years ago and it was one of my favourite games... I played it a lot with pauses but I was slowly fed up with it. Later I regretted that I deleted it. Now I have bought ToT and I am going to make a modpack for it...

Traianvs · January 20, 2000, 15:38

IM BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!ehmhem.... ok, sure i still play civ2.i think it's even better than civ:call to power!!!!even the graphics(don't waste money on civ:call to power!)It's my number 2 on my top 10 games ...after half-life

Hoot · January 20, 2000, 19:09

Still play civII? I'm still fairly new to the game, but I can't see it coming off my hard drive anytime soon. I learn something everytime I play, sp or mp. I started on the playstation version, and I must say, it was civII that convinced me to buy a computer in the first place. Now if I could only find someone that doesn't play 2x2x games on the zone...

Civfan · January 21, 2000, 12:49

Haven't played a full game for at least 2 years. I'm trying to remember when I bought the thing. 97 I believe. It was shelved about 6 months after I purchased it. Just installed it back in August after I bought TOT. Now just for scenario creation.

January 21, 2000, 19:46

I bought Civ2 when it first came out, I now have the FW version. Event htough I hardly ever play a full game, I play a lot of scenarios. Never can beat Civ2.

Narck · January 22, 2000, 20:42

I had civ2 from the start, but when I bought FW and ToT a while ago, I found that I wasn't so interested anymore in the game...

Now, I hope that civ3 will provide something new.

Well, it probably will

January 22, 2000, 20:51

I think of hosting a "Best CivII player of all time" tournement at my site at http://albinoholy.webjump.com

If I can get more than 16 entries the tournement will happen!!

YongueGuy · January 22, 2000, 22:15

Haha, does anyone play civ anymore, hahaha. Where have you been? This game is one of the best ever made for the computer.

Thufir · January 23, 2000, 11:05

Definetly, yes
There is no better game of that kind now.
Just hope Civ-3 won't be spoiled.

Caesar the Great · January 23, 2000, 12:35

I play the original civ 2 but only for OCC.

MUCH EASIER

CivAddict #1 · January 25, 2000, 09:13

Of course there are still Civ2 players around. It's the best TB game I've ever played and I think it will be very hard for the creators to make Civ3 better. But I'm sure they will manage to do it.
I'm currently playing OCC which is much fun to do. Haven't reached the highest levels yet, for I haven't perfected my strategy. But I keep on improving.
GREAT FUN this game

Mad_Conquest · January 25, 2000, 10:03

When it comes to strategy and sim games NOTHING beats CivII MPE Gold!!!!!!

Steve Clark · January 26, 2000, 14:25

Even though I've known about Civ since the beginning, I didn't get around to start playing it until a year ago when I bought MGE. Needless to say, after 12 years of gaming and hundreds of games, it is my favorite and imo, the best strategy game of all time. Had no interest in CtP, SMAC, ToT because of their sci-fi/fantasy setting which has no appeal to me whatsoever. Really hoping that Civ III will incorporate some of the advanced tech modeling BUT down at earth starting at 4000BC.

War4ever · January 26, 2000, 18:50

I like the above started playing civ two in April or so of 98, so i was a late bloomer as well, just before Christmas i got the MGE version and now it is the only one installed on my hardrive, i have the clones too

This game is unreal and i think the site only adds to its role in the whole civ 2 experience. Sure there are flaws but its still #1 after all this time and that is something i cannot say about any other game
i have played

As for civ 3, better ai, little upgrade on the graphics, easy interface, and a few of the clone ideas but surely not ALL ,as that would ruin the experience. A couple of things from civ 1 and TBS, not RTS and i think i will be a happy gamer, but please don't give me SMAC, TOT, or CTP! Surely something superior will come along

I'm still playing Civ 2 (otherwise why would I be posting on this forum?).
