![]() ![]() Like in the above situations I held my breath and clicked on the download links hoping webarchive had the files but sure enough they all failed. What of course stood out to me was that he'd made a Alpha Centauri one as that's one of my big main scenario hunt search & rescue project categories. Some of the names may look familiar but you'll probably find that the ones you're thinking of were made by other people and not this guy. His scenarios page seemed to be filled with scenarios he made that weren't anywhere else. While doing the recent Civ 2 websites archive search side project mentioned above (hunting for more rare scenarios of interest to me) I found this old Geocities Civ2 site by a guy named John Mavin: SCORE! I believe I've obtained one of the rare Alpha Centauri scenarios I mentioned above and more lost treasures! How it all went down was pretty flukey lol! No sign of its files in Poly backups, here at CFC (other than some forums posts where people talk about how great it is) or anywhere else so that's another cool one I'll have to chalk in as lost forever too. I also notice both this site and Dustin's have a Dawn of the Dead scenario too that is apparently a full total conversion zombie survival scenario set in the US where you have a small by powerful force surviving against a huge hoard of zombies. especially as I used to be a member of the sidgames forums back in 1999 and chatted a couple of times with it's 'infamous' owner Whistler. ![]() once again downloads not backed up by Webarchive. While doing the above search I managed to find a site called SciFilization which specialised in Scifi Civ2 Scenarios and was hosted at Sidgames giving it it's own download file hosting that had the Starcraft scenario and 2 of the 3 Dune scenarios! But yeah. Thanks for checking mate, yeah it breaks my heart. such a shame that something this cool is likely lost forever. But of course this modpacks main download and 4 sound downloads were not backed up by webarchive. As you can see in the surviving picture the trees, grass and hills are taken directly from the original game as well as the units and even the friggin cities are built from castles and villages you'd find on the world map. Yet on this site sits a full total conversion Final Fantasy 4 (2 in US) modpack for Civ2by a fellow named Frank Johnson. Other than a vanilla Civ2 scenario with no changed graphics or sounds I'd found nothing in all the big repositories I've searched through. ![]() I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan especially the retro SNES/Super Nintendo ones and so I've been keeping an eye out for Civilization 2 scenarios based on it. Some of them relate to topics of great interest to me! This long lost site hosted a number of scenarios not found in any other repository I've searched through. I located a webarchive backup of an old Civ2 website called The Zandanian League by DSquared (it was also described as 'Dustin Dunn's Civ2 Site' in the link to it). I'm in the middle of a Civ2 website search side project as part of my bigger scenario hunting work (that I've posted about here before) to feature in a video series. There probably isn't a hope in hell that anyone will have these but I'll try anyway.
