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:

I wish I had four of those TFT screens

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.
