Civ II/III combo pack at Sam's Club: $41.95
My wife went to the Sam's Warehouse Club in northern Cincinnati, and saw this box. "I knew you really wanted it, so I bought it", she said. Unfortunately, I was buying the regular edition at Electronics Boutique (for $49.99) at the same time. I haven't opened the combo box, but the picture on the cover looks like Civ 2.42.

Erm... Civ 3 and Civ2! Civ 2 is the 2.42 version, in a paper sleeve, with the tech chart (folded up to jewel case size) but no paper manual. I never checked for a pdf file, but I bet there is one. Civ 3 is exactly the same manual and CD as in the regular edition.

Even if we've all already got a copy of Civ2, this is still the best price I've heard about so far. Wow... $42.

I'm sure Civ2 is easy to find. I had been playing Civ2 (original1996), but early this year I picked up a Civ2 MP for $10 in a box, with a manual. I also think Civ1 is available for peanuts in a jewel case.

Happy hunting!

Warehouse clubs always have a great price advantage over regualr stores--of course, they have to have the specific game you want, which isn't always the case--or never the case, if the game isn't in the top ten at some point.

I'll stop by my local BJ's and Costco, and report back.

Sniffle, $42 ? I'm still saving for a 500 Mhz or better CPU so I can play the game at all. Maybe I'll start a second job....at Sam's Club!
