Horrible hack of the day
Civilization II doesn’t run on MacOS X, or inside Wine (or at least the commercial version of Wine that is all that’s available for MacOS – at least the vendor provides evaluation copies so I didn’t end up spending money before making that discovery) so I needed to grab a virtual machine monitor (SunOracle’s VirtualBox, which has horrible documentation and a spectacularly stereotypically snobbish Open Source®©™ support community) and install a full version of Windows 95 (sans networking!) so I could load up Civ and conquer the world again.
I always knew there was a reason that I didn’t throw out my copies of Windows 95 (or the installation manuals that come with the very important license keys!)
