It took about five years for a sequel to appear, but when Civilization II appeared in 1996 it was astonishing. It was preceded by the quite good Colonization in 1994, but for the first time, the map was shown in an isometric view and the game was shipped on a CD-ROM with lots of early multimedia. It was a worthy upgrade, but in retrospect just a stepping stone to much more. #retrocomputing#vintage#vintagecomputer#retrogaming#commodore#amiga#civilization#civ2#sidmeier
