: You know I tried to take a piece of that descent thing and I was sourly
: dissapointed. Something about the interface really turned me off. It also

: far and above the "preffered." But I understand emulation is a
: different thing that just running the game.
: I didnt play with the settings much.
: I was really hoping for a master of Oroin (cry). That game and CivII are by

D2X-XL is still very much a work in progress, yes - it won't even work on anything less than a G4, but the devs are very responsive and attentive to bug reports and feature requests - the new features in the latest build are really amazing (like giving the Vulcan and Gauss Cannons tracer rounds).
Still, the original D2X is still around, and it still works fine - though for some reason, the mouse controls are very slow (you can fix this with USB Overdrive though).
If you're pining for Civ II, check out FreeCiv (essentially a F/OSS clone); it needs X11, but it's a Universal Binary.
