I'm currently into retro gaming and had the urge to play the 1.0 version of Galactic Civilizations. I got my Windows XP machine out of the closet (I did not and will not connect it to the Internet) and found my GC2 Collectors Edition which I bought brand new at launch. The jewel case inside the box was never opened since I just registered the serial numbers for the base game and the collectors edition content on Stardock's TotalGaming.net platform before it became Impulse. Back then, I wasn't very good at backing up my downloads. Last week, I went to https://www.galciv2.com/collectorsedition/ to try and redownload. Unfortunately, the dowload links are dead. I tried contacting support, but the support person who answered my message redirected me here. Does anyone have the original 1.0 downloads of:
Enable-GalCiv2-Collectors-Edition.exe
and
Galactic_Civilizations_II_Desktop.exe?
I understand that the Collectors Edition content was rolled into patch 1.2 or thereabouts, but I really want to experience GC2 as it was on launch day. If not, I'll just play version 1.0 without it.
On an unrelated side note, I also have the disc versions of GC2 GoTY, Gold, and Ultimate Edition. I also downloaded the latest patched version 2.20.
