Many argued that one new scenario, plus 3 mods didn't justify the price tag, particularly if they'd just forked out for MGE.
Why? Mostly for two reasons: firstly, it was created as a full-priced stand-alone game hot on the heels of MGE. Unlike its predecessors, ToT was not well received. The final version of the game, and what should have been the definitive version, Test of Time (ToT), was released in 1999. This was followed by the Conflicts in Civilization (CiC) and Fantastic Worlds (FW) expansions in 1997, and then the stand-alone Multiplayer Gold Edition (MGE) in 1998. MicroProse released several versions of Civilization 2, beginning with the original (sometimes referred to as the classic) version in 1996. So how does the casual gamer keep track of all these changes, so that they may play the game with the best possible settings? That's what this guide is about. Fans keep them alive by fixing bugs, creating mods, and, importantly, maintaining compatibility with current operating systems. Many classic games remain popular decades after their release.
