keeveek: I recommend trying
FreeCiv
it has Civ2 mechanics in options afaik. Better graphics and UI though.
I was going to post that.
On top of that, you get the choice of rule sets, IIRC, they have Civ I, Civ II and their own rules to play with. Plus, the portable version doesn't even need to be installed.
I'm pretty sure that I still have a copy of Civ II sitting around here and I never play it because FreeCiv addresses most of the annoyances.
dragonsreach: I used this site a while back before i started using GOG.
JMich: Old Games (both com and sk, and Abandonia, and quite a few more) are "abandonware" sites, meaning they make the games available without the owners consent (but also without the owners complaining). GOG has asked us before not to link to those sites, since trying to convince the rights holder that going DRM-Free while the users give a way to pirate the games in the forum isn't the best thing.
I know that you were trying to help, but be aware that linking those sites isn't good for GOG.
This is unfortunately true and is something that needs to be addressed by legislation. It's absurd to have so much culture disappearing so that Disney can retain the copyright to things that were produced in the 40s and 50s.
Games in particularly generally only have a lifespan of a decade or so. Sure, there are exceptions, but they represent a very small fraction of the total games produced. And even those games that are worth buying later, those are the same games where the developer has already earned a tidy profit in most cases.
