minus-squareJannislinkfedilink17•1 year agoI tried to install Civilization 2 from a CD on Windows 10. It didn’t work.
minus-squareikantolollinkfedilink10•1 year agothere’s workaround but it’s a pain in the ass… https://www.myabandonware.com/game/sid-meier-s-civilization-ii-453 basically the game use old .bin disk file, you must convert it to .iso mount the .iso run the setup.exe to install Civilization II
minus-squaremassive_bereavementlinkfedilink5•1 year agoI’m unsure if this is doable with Windows, but when using wine there’s a simple workaround for this: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4849 Mostly it boils down to copy the whole civ2 directory as-is.
minus-squareAlexTheLostlinkfedilink1•1 year agoOooh, I’m gonna have to try this later (I wish Kbin had a save button like lemmy does)
