What?
At the top of A/C forum and thread view page it says.

Quote:
- CIVILIZATION 3 $9.99 - CIVILIZATION 2 from $6.95 - CIVILIZATION 2 from $4.25 - ALPHA CENTAURI + ALIEN CROSSFIRE (laptop collection) from $19.99
So why the two different prices for Civ2? Is this some kind of hidden psychological experiment?

EDIT: At the top of A/C, not every forum, I see.

Maybe the more expensive is MGE of ToT and the cheaper is vanilla.
That would be the obvious answer.
Buy them both and find out!

Yes, in the future you will be able to sell the CD for a large sum of money in some auction...

The retailers' dream: some people will buy both.

I would, but I already have both (not ToT mind you), but since the prices are in dollars then I'll just have to keep scouring ebay.

Why is AC so much more expensive than Civ3? Even with the add-on, that's quite much more...
