	lost track: Civ II: ToT '96 Tired of ads?

Please help me out of this one!

Recently I wend to the local gamestore and saw in their catalogue they had Civilization II: Test of Time from the year 1996! And they ensured me it wasn't a typo? Than what is it? Some sort of expansion set for Civ II?

Test of Time (ToT) is not an expansion pack it is a standalone game. It is however based on the Civ2 game engine and is clearly recognisable as the same game just enhanced. There are up to 4 maps, more units, expanded events and new graphics.
However it came out in mid-1999 so it must be a typo.

Okay, I wend back...

Currently they are selling two versions of Test of Time. One from 1996 and one from 1999. Yeah, I know Test of Time (1999) is a standalone game, but the 1996 version does excist. So, I just ordered it...

I knew we shouldn't have released that time travel scenario!


(I don't know what that store's selling, but I was working at MicroProse in '96, and we definitely did not release anything called "Test of Time" that year.)

Well, that's nice.

But why they still sell ToT '99 for the normal price of 100 guilders (about 50 bucks) and ToT '96 for the price of 25 guilders (about 12/13 bucks)?

By the way, nice option for Civ-games. Timetraveling. If that option comes, it'll become really hard and deep.

Anyway, I ordered it...

Hope you enjoy the game. Too bad about the price.

tOmme, wasn´t that the advertising for the original civ2 something like: "...build an empire to stand the test of time". Perhaps your ToT96 is only Civ2 with an another name?

Last time I talked to him, Mick was still at the Hunt Valley studio, still plugging away at whatever project he was working on. (I can't tell you what it is/was; my old non-disclosure agreement still applies.) He seemed as happy as ever.

It's just Civ:2 plus 2 scenario packs. Nice, didn't have Civ:2 yet. now I have something good to play on my good old P100, instead of the PIII733
