	UCC and MGE. What's the difference? Enter the AD-FREE zone

Is there any difference between MGE and UCC, other than one is a "UK" version and the other a "US" version? Canadians, Europeans, Aussies etc... What version do you get to buy?
I'd assume they're compatible games, right? Internet games are possible with the different versions, yes or no?
So what's the difference?

As far as I heard, they were exactly the same game, but with different names, for some stupid reason. They should be compatible, but I haven't heard evidence either way yet. Try CivLeague, they should be able to help, or the Civ2 forums

What does UCC stand for? Multiplayer Gold Edition I understand. . .

Ultimate Civilivation something?

Yes, they're compatible. The UCC has been sold in Spain the last week, with a newspaper, for only 4€ (4$).

The only difference, I believe, is that UCC doesn't include the CiC and FW scenarios that MGE includes

[CiC = Conflicts in Civilization
FW = Fantastics World,
they are both previous versions of Civ2]

BTW, this thread should be in Civ2/General, in my humble opinion

UCC stands for Civilization II Ultimate Classic Collection.
It's a European version of MGE, with the box cover being a greenish Maya calendar or something. It did include the CiC and FW scenarios, that's why it's called a "collection", after all.

AFAIK, aside from MGE and UCC, there was only one other multiplayer release, namely an add-on called Civlization II Multiplayer. That one obviously didn't include anything CiC or FW.

Those are the only releases I know of anyway, there might be some more, e.g. a stand-alone multiplayer release without the extra scenarios, and undoubtedly a whole bunch of different versions varying per region of the world.
I don't think there are other versions, though, considering there are only two patches. One for MGE/UCC, one for the add-on, so in any case, all different "versions" will boil down to one of these two.
