I had to stop playing Civ II or I might have dropped out of Uni. Skipped III and played IV quite a bit but never got the expansions. Were they worthwhile?
Populous had mltiplayer - I can distinctly remember playing against friends over a 2400 baud modem. In fact, Populous was unique in that Amiga users could play with PC users. Imagine a PS3 playing an Xbox, it would be unheard of these days.
