I still do, not nearly as much as I used to. But as long as people still make scenarios, I still play them.

Yeah, I still play civ2.
I also got civ1, colonization and MOO2 before xmas, and am still playing them.
Why did colonization never get an update? Its well better than civ and civ2.

I started a col game just the other day! Haven't finished yet. IMHO, Colonization, up to year 1650 or so, is one of the absolutely greatest games ever made. Col after 1700 is just about the worst. Once a year I reinstall, start a game or two, but seldom finish. Most often I wipe it from the HD in disgust of late-game shortcomings:
1) Combat system is broken. The random generator is so flawed, I always end up cheating (reloading).
2) The unload bug. I usually play Dutch, so trade is mighty important. When a type of goods is boycotted, trade routes cease to work. You have to manually unload the wagons. PAIN if you have a large trade empire.
3) The AI is more stupid than in any other Civ-game. Always war.
4) Why ARE those units hanging around my colonies? All colonies end up blockaded.
5) Although you have 4 distinctly different nations, there really is only one way to win: Make a nation of 5 to 20 towns (I guess 10-12 is more than enough for me to manage) on one continent. Defend well.
But as I said, the early years are delightful to play. In my current game, I had a good start, killing the two camps of the Tupi nation gave me half a continent to develop into an 8-city empire. I just started a massive attack against the other half, hopefully killing the Arawaks, the Spanish and two French cities before they understand what hit them.

Nevertheless, I'm still addicted to Civ2 (and SMAC-not CTP anymore).
