Huh. Almost all the classic classics have dropped off the board,
and a lot of successful franchises have a representative for no
good reason. Civilization was better then Civ 2, and should have
been in it's place.

This is one of the few sequels that really was a whole lot better
than the ones that came first.

A great, great classic. Nowhere near as good as lots of stuff
from that time period that didn't make the list.

Hmmm. I believe it's the oldest remaining game on the list. Sad.

Great game, though.
