Hey Zebomba,
"cheating the game is just cheating yourself?"
Gimme a break! I thought the cheat mode on Civ II was a lot of fun. Sometimes you just wanna build a bunch of tanks or mech inf. and just roll up on everyone in one turn. It was kind of a stress reliever for me. It doesnt' mean I would cheat every game! Where would the fun be in that? It's just a fun option that should have been included in Civ III imho.
