Apparently the original versions of POP1 and POP2 are missing from the PC version of the game.
Considering that they are in the XBOX version, this is criminal........

Sure, I've played both years ago, but I'd love to revisit them without illegal ROMS or buying a dos game that will probably not run on my OS easily.

Grrrrrrrr.........

I remember playing the original POP on my mate's dad's PCs. This was back before sound cards came as standard.

I don't think I was very good at it, but despite that, I've managed to complete Sands Of Time and am currently working on a walkthrough. Game rules.

It would be great if old games were re-released in bundles like old CDs are.

Imagine a 'The Very Best of Microprose' 2/3/4 disk set ready to use on XP. Game listing:

Railroad Tycoon
Railroad Tycoon Deluxe
Civilization
Grand Prix Manager
Colonization
Transport Tycoon
Railroad Tycoon Deluxe
Pirates! Gold

And possibly a few others I've forgotten to mention.

*Happy thoughts, even though this will probably never happen*

Hmm, I think they're only present in the PS2 and Xbox versions. You need a link up cable for the GC version, and well... like you said, PC PoP owners don't get it at all.
