I just played another 100 round game with the demo. Dang but this one is addictive!
Das have you ever played Alpha Centari? It really is the continuation of Civ2. I still play it. Wish Sid would come up with Alpha Centari2.
Civ 2 was my first love. My very first PC game. Civ3 not so much for some reason but this one.. oh my! I am going to be spending much of the winter playing Civ4 I think.

I've only read about it. From everything I've heard about the entire Civ series (up to the Civ IV demo), Civ 2 seems to be everyone's favorite. And I get the same impression that you do: that Alpha Centauri is a lot like Civ 2.
I may have to check out Alpha; though in a very disinterested manner, you see. ;)

Having played (and owned) both Civ2 and Alpha Centauri, I can tell you I prefered Civ2. I could grasp the technology concepts in Civ2 much easier than the futuristic things in AC. AC's expansion pack is nice, though.
Civ3 didn't wow me much. Although it has nicer graphics, Civ3 doesn't have as many government options. Maybe the expansion pack does, but I don't have that. If you have Civ2 already, Civ3 may not be worth the money.
Haven't played or seen Civ4.
