BAD as in bad-ass, world conquerors! Right?

INDEED! Do send them, but do so in small sets of say 10 scenarios (70 all at once would send me into shock and I'd never get them posted.
As to the Mac page, no it really has never had a proper update. The original creator, Romulo Romero, created the site before the release of Civ2(he was beta tester for Civ2 MPG, checkout the credits in the back of the manual, or in the application/game). His intent was to hype the newest Mac game and post updates on the latest mac news. By the time I came along, he had pretty much lost interest in Civ and while looking for help, he was REALLY interested in passing the torch.
I had volunteered to "help", mostly because I wanted there to be a good spot for information about the latest Civ2 MPG Patch (we had, what, 5 or 6?), a spot to download the patch and to offer support for Mac games in the dark years before the iMac gave Apple a boost. At the time, my only real interest was in the Patches and I knew NOTHING about html and web creation. That and chemists are not known for stellar art and web design. So, with some help and encouragement form DanQ and MarkG, I got my feet wet in web creation (MarkG gets all the praise and credit for the cool iMac header!  ) I learned enough to create a web site for my local Cub Scout District, but I'm still a LONG way from a "webmaster!" Really, the Civ2-Mac Forum has been the most helpful tool in supporting and encouraging the Mac versions of Civ.
Currently the Mac page is really only useful for sharing scenarios. Toward that end, long term I intend to pull down most of what Romulo posted. All the info on the "new" Civ2 is useless, and the scenario conversion info is WAY dated in light of our new conversion scripts. Unfortunately, I'm feeling close to the way Romulo felt, in that other things have priority over the Civ page (read as Cub Scouts and family stuff). Hopefully, I'll make time to work on the page soon. I could tell myself the Scout Leader recruiting line," It only takes an hour a week...!" If your in Scouting you'll understand.

Wow, I never counted how many PC scenarios I had converted...
I have 84 of them, and that's just in my "Historical Scenarios" folder.

. I have been converting and playing PC scenarios for years. I used Appolyton a lot but wasn't aware of the mac section.
