Somehow even Sid Mier has never managed to match Civ 2. This was a can't stop 'til you drop game. Apparently, some people still think it is.

Great follow up

I got the multiplayer gold edition of this game, in which you could play online. It also included many scenarios. This is a very addictive game, the scenarios and scoring give this game infinite replay value, and it can be played hours and hours without blinking. If you can find the multiplayer gold edition I recommend that more because it has scenarios, and the scenario editor. This is a great game and anybody who likes Real time or turn based strategy will get a real kick out of this game, as I know I have

Warning.....This game is EXREMELY addictive!

I have owned this games for a few years and have literally lost months of my life to it. While the graphics are not the greatest, the gameplay keeps you involved for hours (months, years...). It is pure strategy. I never grow tired it. The World War II scenario is fantastic.

All in all, it is the best money I have ever spent.

Great. My teacher put it on the computer at school and all the boys love it. Good planning and stratagey are a key to this game. Kids in my class even went out and bought the game. If he finds the game, he will buy some and sell it to the boys.

Avoiding Gettysburg

Civ II is the only game that manages to combine strategy and tactics in the same game, making me play it over and over. Tactics is not enough. I cannot get interested in re-fighting the Battle of Gettysburg, when everyone knows that Lee should never have gone NEAR Gettysburg. Strategy is not enough. Who wants to be Mr. Speer, building stuff but not deciding how it fights? Civ II gives me both, so it is my favorite game of all time. Of course you won't want this expanded game if you already own the previous edition.

Tremendous replayability

To give you an idea of what a great game this is, I bought it back in the spring of 1996. Soon after, I started at noon on a weekend and played straight through to midnight. I ate in front of the computer while playing.

Three and a half years later, I still find myself playing the game once in a while. In the intervening time, I've gone through the Fantastic Worlds supplement and "Call to Power" (aka Civ 3). The original Civ 2 just has a freshness to it that is quite remarkable.

The secret to the game? (1) keep building settlers, then form new cities; (2) get to Monarchy, and then to Democracy; (3) start converting other cities to your civilization via diplomats/spies; (4) once you get the Stealth technology, switch to Fundamentalism; (5) thrash your opponents; (6) leave one enemy civilization with one city; (7) build the spaceship; (8) launch in 2007 or 2008.

Many of the Wonders of the World are nice but not necessary. You want the Great Library, Adam Smith's Trading, the two science wonders, the UN, and Hoover Dam.
