The game is protected, so the only answer to that is:
Only if you know someone who wants to give it to you, but we can't give you any links to sites that offer this game for free. Guess you'll have to buy it. Try eBay or Amazon or any other online store.

does Civ2 work okay on XP?
I read once that it doesn't really, so even though I have the game lying around the house someplace, I've never bothered trying to install it. Though i see someone here has said it works on XP, so I shouldn't have any problems with it? thnx! |

talking to a friend about this last week and dug out my old copy. Loaded it onto my vista laptop. The game drops every now and again but played well enough for me to fall in love all over again.
Is there anything I can do to get it running better on vista? In my ideal world I would get it up and runing better and be able to patch it to network play and play on a lan with a mate? |

If you're playing it on a dual-core processor (and you probably are since you're using Vista), there's something that might help you.
While Civilization II is running, press CTRL+ALT+DEL to invoke the Task Manager, go to the Processes TAB, select the Civlization process (not sure what it's called but you should be able to find it easily) and right-click on it. There should be some option to disable one of the CPU's so this process runs only on a single CPU. That might help the dropping problem. |

I never knew you could switch off one of the processer like that, thanks
Will try that I see if that helps. I am getting the videos and sound playing fine along with the auto save feature all of which seam to be having problems for other people. |

You should not really download and play these scenarios:
http://pages.zoom.co.uk/netdesign/ Because I don't know how many hours I've been playing... And I'm not done yet making the Persians regret being themselves... Urgh I need fresh air, but I'm not having it... Everything's tweaked, the units, infraestructures, technologies, even the terrain. It's a different game, and it's MUCH better than the original Civ2, makes lots more sense. And I did like the original...

Too bad it's protected. I'd like to vote that Civ 2 might be the best in the franchise, excluding Alpha Centauri.
If you can find a copy, it's worth it. Unless you're into graphics. In which case, maybe you're at the wrong website. |
