    When I first played this game on my uncle's Windows 95 at the tender age of 4 this game amazed me. I was unfamiliar with the original Civilization, and so it took me a while to get the swing of it, under careful supervi... Read Full Review

    Could be one of the greatest games ever conceived.

    If you're prepared to lose a small amount of your life, go ahead and get Civ II.

    The Good: Highly, highly addictive gameplay; Lots of cool wonders you'll be desperate to build before your opponents; Cool, complex combat system. The Bad: Graphics look bad even for 1996; Begins to wind down when you... Read Full Review
