trixster · 29 May 2016, 20:06

Hi,

Is anyone able to upload civ II for 68k Mac to the zone?

Thanks!

trixster · 31 May 2016, 21:07

Class? Anyone?

I'll buy a beer for anyone that can help!

Nice try, but Gold edition only has the PowerPC binary apparently.

trixster · 31 May 2016, 21:59

Correct. I'm after the 68k version of Civ 2.

trixster · 31 May 2016, 22:00

Beers still on offer!

Belgarath · 31 May 2016, 22:16

HFV of Civ 2 being uploaded to the zone now.
Not tested it, but it should be the 68k version.

trixster · 31 May 2016, 22:28

You dancer! And Belgarath always was the best sorcerer in fantasy. Will give it a try in a bit and report back.

trixster · 31 May 2016, 22:52

Alas, it appears to be the ppc demo version. Nice try though Old Wolf!

DamienD · 31 May 2016, 23:58

How about here: http://www.mac.org/games/civilization2/

Edit: it's only the demo though

DamienD · 01 June 2016, 00:10

Hmmm, the full version seems to be here but don't know the details to connect to the ftp...

http://www.hot.ee/macgames/

Maybe try contacting the web page owner "macgames 'at' hot.ee"?

DamienD · 01 June 2016, 00:15

Not sure what version this is: http://gamesnostalgia.com/en/downloa...zation-ii/1346

trixster · 01 June 2016, 11:02

I tried emailing hot.ee a couple of days ago but the address is dead. I think that one linked is the demo.

I believe the correct version has been found, I'll try it tonight and if it's good I'll upload to the Zone later.

DamienD · 01 June 2016, 11:08

I just found what I believe is the correct version here: http://macgui.com/downloads/?file_id=15599

Signed up; am downloading now and will upload to The Zone! for ya

Edit: too large for The Zone! so have uploaded to SendSpace: https://www.sendspace.com/file/2seq40

trixster · 01 June 2016, 12:35

That's the one, I dloaded it first thing this morning from macgui, will test it tonight!

DamienD · 01 June 2016, 12:36

Fingers crossed that it works for you

trixster · 01 June 2016, 12:43

I'm just amazed it's been quite so difficult to track down (although I suspect that's just been me being rubbish at searching!), as there are loads of links to the demo 68k version and the full Gold ppc version kicking around.

Civ 2 and The Settlers strike me as the perfect games to play on AGA-only shapeshifter installs as the slower screen refresh is much less of a factor than it is with games like marathon and dark forces. Those games run pretty fluidly on an 060 AGA machine were it not for the screen refresh issue.

I'd love it if someone could post a decent video (ie not a rubbish handheld cam of a poor crt) of a fast 060 with graphics card running marathon, marathon 2, doom and dark forces to demonstrate just how good Amiga / Mac emulation can be.

I've tested that (and found yesterday the same link DamienD has found) yesterday - it is 68K.

Also, if you have PPC gold version CD, movies will still play and you can have all other goodies like if you have full CD version.

Also to mention, it works well on RaspberryPi Macintosh emulation.

Thanks for confirmation Anubis

If you only have AGA try a different graphics driver iirc there was a good one for FPU (MMU) and some games run LowRes - 060 should be quite fast
