Civilization 2 is a fine game for those who want to play a real game during work, but don't want to get caught. It minimizes and maximizes quickly, sound isn't a necessary component, it's turn based, it runs on old and new windows machines with few issues, and most releases of it run without the CD (not sure about Civ2 GOLD multiplayer). I generally enjoy leaving it in the taskbar while I'm doing work, so I can periodically reposition my tanks and cruise missiles as I guide the Sioux towards world domination. Only problem is that my "just one more turn" mentality leads me to spend 3 hours engaged in important government activities for every 5 minutes of actual work!
