The Civs: the most addictive game series in history
I got Civ 2 for Christmas '02. The beauty of these games is that if something goes wrong (for example, you lose a city to barbarians or an enemy civ), you can go back in time (by loading a game) & do things differently. Real life is not like that; you get only one shot. Another amazing thing is that in these games, you can learn astronomy & monotheism, or build King Richard's Crusade & Michelangelo's Chapel before it's even AD 1--advance a LOT faster than real-life civilization did. LOL, I was able to colonize outer space as early as 1918!

The downside is that governing worlds & rewriting history can drastically affect a person's real life. I've literally lost sleep playing this game--I'd stay up till 3 even on weeknights! Nothing else I have ever done in my whole life, on or off the computer, has proven so addictive.

Enjoy, but be careful!

What is there not to love?
Civ II is an excellent game with endless possibilities. You can build cities, research technology, establish trade roots, build wonders of the world, fight wars-well, I could go on and on. And when it's at such a low price, these no reason why you shouldn't buy it right now!

You start in 4000BC (unless you chose to start in 3600BC or 3200BC) with 1 or 2 settlers unit, who builds your first city. In this city, you can build units, such as settlers, to found another city, or irrigate, mine, or build roads, which increases food, production, and trade. You can also build buildings, like barracks, which increases units' ability to fight and defend. In your cities, you collect taxes, research science, and give out luxuries.

As your Civ grows, you gain knowledge, which allows you better units, more buildings, different governments, and faster methods of life. You will also have to interact with other Civs, whether it's peacefully or in war. You can exchange knowledge, give gifts, ally, or demand tributes. You also can build wonders of the world, such as the Pyramids, the Statue of Liberty, Apollo program, and a Cure for Cancer. And there is some much more, you just have to play it for yourself to know.

Over all, Civ II is an extremely fun game. I have had it for more than 2 years, and never gotten board of it. I am still finding myself calling in sick to play it. Whenever someone asks me why I make such a big deal about it, I ask them to come over and see for themselves, and the next day I talk when to them, they say "You were right. I went and bought it myself." Trust me and all the other reviewers on this page. Buy Civilization II;
you'll be glad you did.
