How dumb were Sony to make Civ2 incompatible with a mouse?

I reckpn pretty dumb.

Are you talking about a playstation version of Civ?
I don't think that Sony had anything to do with the PC version, and I've certainly never had any trouble playing it with a mouse!

Sony didn't have anything to do with the PS 1 Civ 2 either - it was all done by Activision. It would be nigh impossible to have both mouse and joypad control anyway - it would require two separate editions of the game. And how many people own a PS mouse?
The real question that we all want to know is when the hell Activision or whoever are going to get around to converting Civ 3 for the PS2!

Really the Civ series is a PC game and its unlikely they will make a PS version because the sales are unlikely to match the cost.

I'd buy it!

I'd have bought a mouse to play Civ2. I'd have grumbled a bit but at least the game would have been playable.

PC games are usually worse when they're ported to a console system. Mainly, they lose their ability to have modpacks and such. Plus, look at Civ3. If you got the CD with v1.07, then you're stuck.

I don't even have a mouse with any of my console systems either (it seems strange to play a console game with a mouse).
