I hope you're joking that you're not willing to pay the price for it. Come on, it's only $10 or less! If you can't pay that, you don't need to be playing it. I don't want to start a whole flame war over piracy, but at these prices, there's just no excuse to steal it. And no, it's not abandoneware--it's still currently sold in stores. Target still sells the jewel case version of Civ2 original, and I've seen MGE and ToT at Best Buy, Target, and Toys R Us.
Like Drake said, it's worth buying.

I don't think any game is worth paying for if you can get the same thing for free of the net (which is usually the case). If I find that a free, full version of civ II is not available on the net, then I prob will go out and buy it (depending on how much it costs), but until then, I'm not going to unnecessarily spend money. Really, with most games all your buying is the box (and maybe a lighter conscience), because normally you can find the game and manual somewhere or other on the net.
I would put a smiley type thing here, but I dont know how I can afford the extra time that means I'll have to be connect to the net, with me being so cheap and all
(before anyone is about to take me seriously, that was a joke)

I've found Civilization 2 MGE for $25, I think it's the best price you can have for the MG edition... Civilization 2, first edition, shouldn't cost more than $10, as it has been said...
Look there:
www.thecdromshop.com
They've got Civ2 1st edition for $30 , i now, it's expensive, but I think it's because this is the MAC version...
And consider that if you download it on a warez site, you'll get it without the animations (for the wonders & the rulers), ... sh*tty ...

As I mentioned, I've seen Civ2 available for $10 at Target. I've also seen this version offered at the same price at KMart. Here at our local Best Buy, both Civ2 MGE and Test of Time are offered for $15 each, both with the full documentation set. From the Apolyton Civ II section, you can search for the best deal, but none as cheap as $10. Nonetheless, there are reasonable prices to be found.
I disagree that you're mostly paying for the box when you buy software. Sure, you only get a CD, but the value of that CD is not merely the materials it's made of, it's the thousands of hours that went into creating the program. That's what you're paying for. By simply copying it from a warez site or a from a friend, you are robbing the author of their source of income. Are some games too expensive? You bet! And those are the ones I don't buy. If I'm not willing to pay the price, I either wait until the price comes down or I do without it. After all, none of us NEED to buy games--we do it for the fun of it. I'll bet you wouldn't be willing to give away your own hard work if you've created a piece of software at the level of Civ2. Why, then, should you take it from others?
I hope you are able to find a good deal on Civ2. I think you will, if you look hard enough. Good luck!

I don't know if this is stocked the same around the country, but I was at our local Sam's club tonight, and they're selling Civ2 (not MGE) bundled together with Diplomacy for $8.99! I saw ToT tonight at Toys R Us for only $10. Civ2 is out there...
