I have Civ 2 and a couple of expansion discs, Test of Time and Call to Power (couldn't play CTP2 at the time). They're all basically the same to me. Now they're may be differences in gameplay (I think CTP is the one where you could create space stations and underwater colonies), it's still the same basic game. Create a civilization, and try to keep it alive and growing for the next 6,000 years. I don't understand why some say CIV3 is a POS. As a matter of fact, I think I'll play a game tonight. This post has whetted my appetite again.
