DaveV can count to four reasons as to why he is still playing CivII more than four years after its original release in his article entitled "Why I'm Still Playing Civilization II".

I only have one reason why I still play. Because Alpha Centauri stinks! (Well I have two; the first one and also I'm not going to bother to try the "imitations")

Hear, hear. I couldn't have put it better.

Smash? Are my eyes going? Or have you stopped hitting the space bar after full stops?

I enjoyed the article, especially as it was concise and well structured. I have the same reservations about some of the exotic scenarios!

Can we change the DaveP to DaveV in the thread title?

Great article. I only recently upgraded from a PC clone myself, and I still haven't tired of Civ, but Civ 2 (TOT since it was the only version I could find locally) was the first game I went hunting for. I hope future versions will continue to meet the promise of the first two.

Yes, I was quite surprised to see my name on an article. Please change it.

Its nice to see that Apolyton is such a big part of the civving experience. I think you may have summed up many members sentiments exactly. There seems to be a big group feeling here. Great little read!

So true... So true...

I would only add that one of the reasons I still play is that I can easily find people to play against.

It will be interesting to see what happens when CivIII comes out. I look forward to it, but at the same time, I'm concerned that they will develop a game that is soooooooooo different that it will lose all the good things that have made CivII such a good game.

The good news is... if they do screw it up, we still have CivII to play

Sorry about the thread title error -- it's not possible to rename the thread, but simply delete it and start a new one and losing all the posts already made in the process.
