However, please direct actual tech support questions to other threads so that this one remains easy to read. If you have other methods, or want to describe these methods in more detail, feel free to reply. This Video describes a method to get classic civ 2 to work using free (open source) software. When all is said and done, it is very convenient to use, but upgrading the computer may require tech support.Ģb. I personally use this method, but only because my university offered the upgrade for free. Upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, then use Virtual PC to run XP mode. You can then play classic and avoid the hostile AI. Use virtualization software to run a different operating system. I purchased from this site, and didn't have any trouble beyond applying Mastermind's Patch.Ģ. Or, this site sells a downloadable version for 5 Pounds. This Thread is a more detailed tutorial.ġb.
#CIVILIZATION II KKB HOW TO#
This post (and some that follow it) in the Mastermind patch thread explains how to upgrade to MGE if you have a classic disk. If you have a 16 bit version, you have the following options:ġa. If you have a 32 bit version of the program, Mastermind's Patch should fix your problem.
#CIVILIZATION II KKB INSTALL#
These will install on 64 bit Windows, but have a bug with text boxes.
Th later versions of Civ 2, Multiplayer Gold Edition and Test of Time, are 32 bit programs. Windows will not even install these games. "Classic" Civ 2 (also known as "Vanilla" or version 2.42) is a 16 bit game, and I think that Fantastic Worlds is also (but I'm not sure). The early versions of Civ 2 are 16 bit programs, which will not run directly on 64 bit Windows Operating Systems. If you have a game of Civilization 2, the first thing to do is establish exactly what game you have. To keep this thread short and easy to read, please do not seek technical support for implementing these options in this thread. The purpose of this thread is to present different options for running the game in one location, so that the information is easy to find. From time to time I've noticed questions about running Civilization 2 on Windows 7 (both in General Discussion, and this forum), although the problems seem to be with 64 bit operating systems.
