I think a multiplayer version would go a long way toward ensuring classic status. I much prefer games of GC2 when I'm playing on my own, but still play MOO2 when I'm gaming with friends.

I also had to use the versions in the ZIP files designed for developer use. The self installer would't properly ID my video
