Someone please tell me what an ICQ is. And I would like a game of TOT with someone thanks. I havn't a clue how to do any of this stuff. I only got the internet recently. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME!

Anima,

Icq is an instant messeging or chat program like AOL or instant messenger. It is used to find people who want to play multi-player online games and also to initially set up the game as the players need to know the IP address of the host computer and sending by email might take too long and using the phone is expensive

For all that don't know, ICQ is available, free, from www.icq.com

Also, another useful one is trillian, which incorporates ICQ,MSN,AOL,YAHOO all into one little messenger.
Its from http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/trillian/index.html

Well worth checking out, as it's easier to have all your contacts on one screen.
Remember, give me a shout for games whenever you see me online, I like to play when I can, 'JeremyWilkes@hotmail.com' or ICQ 202681641

Lets's Play: ICQ#325069893 MSN:kontraaudio@hotmail.com (mac or pc) it's all the same.

Is that all mac friendly?

I'd recommend not using mac if you are concerned with compatibility issues. Although I have heard that some of the newer macs support tcp/ip and that in 2006 they will begin supporting intel processors. Which leads me to think Macintosh is getting smarter. As of now though, Macintosh is not the computer you want for online gaming, or gaming.
I think I strayed a bit off the topic, but I don't remember what it is.
drugs are bad

WHERE TO PLAY


Xfire = http://www.xfire.com/

Xfire is the new Zone, GameSpy, and stuff, its new and good software, anyone except Mac, Linux, etc can use it. 100% free, though doesn't yet support Civilization 2 or Test of Time, there are several topics on the Xfire forums about it, the 1# topic for it has over 5000 replies so I think it might get supported soon.


GameSpy Arcade = http://www.gamespyarcade.com/
GameSpy Arcade is the only place for Civ2 matchmaking now days, other than Comrade.


GameSpy Comrade = http://comrade.gamespy.com/
The new GameSpy Instant Messenger that came out in late 2006 with Battlefield 2142.


Zone = http://www.zone.com/
A now defunct online gaming service run by Microsoft.


GEnie = http://www.genie.com/
GEnie is a online gaming service where you can play Civ2 and its expansions. However it costs money.
