Sid Meier's Civilization II (PC Games, 1996)

Honestly it is one of the best games I have ever played. It is one of those games that you get addicted to for a while, lose some interest, come back to it in a few months and get addicted again. Gameplay is realtively simple and you can probably buy the game for under 10 dollars today.

Graphics aren't great but gameplay is awesome.

Easy enough. I had Civilizatio 11 on my old compute with Windows 98 and played it quite often. Somehow I misplaced the CD-ROM and being computer illiterate had no knowledge about how to transfer the game to my new computer with Vista.

So, with the price of a new CD-Rom and the cost, which was about 1/3 of what I paid years ago including shipping, why not? I am enjoying the game on the new computer now.

Well, what can be said about Civilization II? Everything! It is simply awesome! Of course, it is for folks that like strategy games (i.e.--a first person shooter lover should not buy this game!-lol). A top gaming website rated this game as 9.2 out of 10. The great thing about this game is that it was made in 2000, but it can be run on older systems, dating back to Windows 95. And there are so many ways to win! It is simple to use, and the tutorial pop-up windows throughout the game help you advance further in the game. GAMERS BEWARD: It is a truly addicting game! Of course-thats what we want! This game is a 5-star game--no doubt about it!

Wow that was fast. A game I looked for since I was a kid. Thanks for your business. A dream come true.

It was exactly the game I wanted, but was unable to find in stores. The service and shipping were excellent. I would highly recommend this seller.

Simply my favorite game. Most games are either easy to begin playing but lacking depth, or very challenging but very difficult to begin playing at an acceptable level. Civ is the odd exception, It is very simple to begin (an easy level with a good tutorial), and can get very difficult, while constantly revealing new subtleties in gameplay. The ways you can play it also allow you to tailor the game to your personality - world domination vc. diplomacy vs. space exploration. The same is true of the technologies you can build - armies, libraries, banks, etc.

I have played, and continue to play the later versions, which have signigicantly better graphics, but this is still a great game. One plus is that the entire game can be loaded onto your hard disk, so you don't need the CD in a drive to tun it. My wife has tried each later version, and always gone back to Civ II. There are also a number of add-on packs to increase the versatility further - you can re-fight World War II or an alien invasion.
