The posters that came with Test of time detailing all the units and terrain were cool but in-game did anyone else ever read the Civilopedia full terrain descriptions when playing the Test of Time fantasy and scifi scenarios back in the day? I don't think I even did as a teenager but a few years ago when I played the Lalande scifi scenario with the 4 worlds (earth like, space platform, dark ash world, and gas giant platform) each time I entered a new world I'd sit there reading all the units, buildings and in particular the terrain descriptions (and there's so many as the special resources get their own too) as it was like reading a scifi novel that had you picturing the world in your mind massively upping the immersion and enjoyment of the game as suddenly I cared more about game number 1018564 of Civ2 lol cause it felt more real. I remember enjoying the descriptions on the fantasy midgard one too as once again it felt like I was reading a fantasy novel making me care more about that world and the game I was playing in it! 
Some examples from both scenarios..
