Begin the game in 4000 BC, and choose your country's fate. Will you be aggressive in your technology or in your military tactics? Will you concentrate on trade or focus on exploring new worlds? Whatever your decision, you must take over the world or colonize Alpha Centauri by the year 2040 AD. Choose your first settlement and you are off! Explore new civilizations or destroy them, plan spy attacks to steal their information, and advance through four different architectural eras. This game prompts you to develop your nation with intelligence and ingenuity--whatever your political tactics may be.

There is only one glitch in the game play: If you let the video for the discovery of Oracle run to the end, the game crashes. We recommend that you do watch the video portion of Wonders of the World--it is a fascinating part of the game. However, if you prefer to avoid the videos, you can click your mouse to bypass them. Besides the minor technical flaw, Civilization 2 is an excellent strategy game that appeals to the tyrant or the pacifist in all of us. --Madeleine Miller
