I honestly
don't remember, and the machine is currently stuck in the back of
a storage unit. I mainly wanted to get OS/2 back up and running in order to
run one game (I forget the name, it's a Master of Orion knock-off).
I assume you are talking about "Galactic Civilizations II." The company that made it still exists (Stardock), and
has made newer
verstions "Galactic Civilizations," "Galactic Civilizations: Altarian
Conquest" and "Galactic Civilizations II", but you'll need Windows
2000 or later to run them.
Interesting. I'll have to track them down and see how the game looks
these days. 10 years ago, it was pretty slick for a strategy game.
