Being that I bought CivII back in '96, the actual CD is in rather poor shape. I can no longer install the game from it, and it's readability (is that a real word?) is a bit shaky. I have a copy of the entire CD sitting on my HD which I have kept for a couple of years now. Whenever I need to re-do my computer for whatever reason, CivII is the first thing I re-install, from that copy. Fitting, since it was the first game I installed on the first real PC I bought.
I recently used the non-official patches found on CivFanatics to go from 2.42 to MGE, then I updated to MGE 1.3 (?) and found a cracked .exe for that version so I could play without the CD. I wanted the "latest and greatest" CivII version, but I didn't want to rely on the sketchy CD I own.
I don't really mind not having all the extras. I play with no sound at all, and the last time I looked at the Wonder movies was probably three years ago. *shrug* I find I prefer to listen to MP3s, and I enjoy the speedy nature of CivII without the visuals.
Funny thing is, given that the CD I own is unplayable, I can not bring myself to get rid of it. It occupies a very prominent spot on my CD rack, and in my heart. I adore CivII, and consider it to be one of the best game purchases I've ever made with my own money (if you count my parent's money from my childhood, I'd have to say Bard's Tale 2 was the best game from that time *grin*). One of these days I'll get off my posterior and see if I can salvage that CD. CivII deserves that much respect.
