The final patch you’ll then want to use is from MastermindX: This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s gameplay is similar…but it won’t be the exact Civ II you remember, and you can probably say goodbye to any saved games or customizations you might have had (unless you’re able to backup their relevant files).Ĭedric Greene has the patches to convert to MGE, in the form of zipped downloads: Īfter following his directions, you’ve now upgraded your unusable 16-bit program into something that can run on 64-bit Windows 7. Most of all, be warned that you’ll be converting the entire game into a newer version, the Multiplayer Gold Edition (MGE). You’ll also need a basic unzipping tool in order to unpack archived patches (jZip worked for me).

There are a few caveats, however: You’ll need the actual disk of Civ !! or Test of Time, so that you can copy the whole thing onto your PC and start messing around with it. Okay guys, I’ve finally found out a way to get Civ II to play on simple 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium…and it didn’t even involve using an XP mode or virtual machine. He doesn’t mention 64-bit, but I suppose there is still hope.

I see on eBay that some guy (“ allvideo” if you want to find him) who is selling a $50 package that includes a copy of Civ II and a CD that includes some sort of emulation (my guess) that will let you install and play Civ II on Windows 7. (It checked every freakin’ turn if I recall right.) I had a later, Gold Edition copy of the game (which I haven’t found yet… and which might be the Mac version now that I think of it) which required the CD to be inserted in order to launch and play the game.

Fry’s even had a policy at one point that you couldn’t return software unless it was on CD, because who could pirate something that big. CD burners were kind of rare and hard drives were still measured in megabytes back then. It came on a CD, which Microprose figured was copy protection enough. That was one of the things I liked about the original release of Civ II. It isn’t like you’re the only one who doesn’t know what I mean when I write – Oh, I had forgotten about that copy protection scheme.

I’ll dig around some more today, but that was the state of affairs last night.

There was some talk about third party virtual machines that might work, but once we get to the discussion about shelling out a lot of money to play a 15 year old game… well, it is probably time to let go.ĭOSBox was mentioned in a couple of articles, I might give that a try this weekend. Other people reported, consistently, 100% of the time, that it just wouldn’t work, even with Microsoft’s WinXP virtual machine. There were a lot of questions there about 64-bit Windows 7 running 16-bit apps and no good answers. That is when I went to the Microsoft site.

You get an error telling you that you need the 32 or 64 bit version of your application. But none of the executables would run regardless of compatibility settings. This was 1996 and a CD-ROM was huge back then, so nothing was compressed.

Wilhelm Arcturus Post author Octoat 2:07 – 64-bit Windows 7 will not run 16-bit apps under any of the compatibility mode options.

In the mean time, since there was some discussion over the best version of Civilization, I will put up a poll. I’ll have to go find a more recently rolled version of it. That was a long time ago.Īnyway, no Civ II for me right now. I was doing WinLogo certification for the company I was working for in 1997, and even then you had to get a special exemption to have 16-bit executables… including the installer… on your disc. I couldn’t find anything official on the Microsoft support site that definitively said, “No 16-bit,” but I found plenty of unofficial things that said it wasn’t going to happen. Sure, Windows 95 was out when this game launched… barely… so this disc had to install on Windows 3.1.Īnd, as I found out after an hour or so of screwing around and trying to fool it into believing it was installed, the 64-bit version of Windows 7 is not at all down with 16-bit. How long has it been since it was IBM and Compatibles? Unfortunately, this disk is from the stone age.
