I believe you can get Civ2 for the playstation. I rented it but went back to the computer and played it.
Or do you mean Civ3?

Maybe he means Civ I. That would be cool, I guess, to get that on the ps2.
civ3 on the ps2 or other console? I don't know about that one, guess it could work

There was a SUPER NINTENDO version of Civ I by Microprose. KOEI, the big Japanese strategy house released it in 1995.
It's actually quite faithful to the PC version. Only, it quite old by then. But still...
I'm hoping Firaxis do a GameBoy Advance / PocketPC Civ game. I need a game like Civ, even if its pared down, for the road.

I'm sure I've seen a version of Civ for the PlayStation on eBay. But Civ3 wouldn't work without redoing all the graphics - domestic TVs can't handle 1024 X 768 resolution.
Also, I can't see WHY Sony would want Civ on their console. It's not really a console game, is it?

Civ2 for the PS1 should work on PS2 I would assume.
I can't imagine Civ3 on the PS2, without a keyboard it would be a nightmare...

Ya I was thinking about Civ3.
I don't see why the controls could not be setup for it... They've done it to a few other games that had a heavy keyboard dependance.

IIRC, everything in Civ3 is accessible by the mouse, so a port to a console is not impossible per se. But I don't know if they'll raise their audience significantly enough to bother porting the game to PS2. Maybe they'll port Civ3 gold, once there are no improvements planned anymore.

can't see it being "exciting" enough to be a console game.

you would struggle on a PS 2 because it hasn't got a hard drive.
an x-box might work it though

I have played CIV 2 on playstation and these are the major differences from CIV 2 Gold edition:
a) No MP (a given with PS1)
b) No editor; only default game
c) user interface and graphics were superior to the gold edition
d) no ability to automate workers or engineers (never did this in CIV 2 but I automate heavily in CIV 3)
Basically everything else was the same (ok there was Better music in gold edition as well)

The "without keyboard would be a nightmare" was more of a personal comment... I always groan when I have to sit up and reach for the mouse...

CIV 3 with a MP that actually works......
CIV 3 PS2 would be an upgrade to PTW
