Default Remember Civ2?

Someone has been playing this one game for 10 years now, reaching the year 3991 AD...

His skills leave a lot to be desired, but that's what made the game so fascinating, that it appeared to have become an 'internet hit'.

Original report: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comme...vilization_ii/
Screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/rAnZs
It became so popular that it got its own subreddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/theeternalwar

Thunderfall wiped off his balsam to report it too: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=464175

How sad, still playing as a n00b after 10 years.
