When I got Civ 3, there were two copies of this game in the box. I figured I'd play Civ 2 then Civ 3 so I could enjoy both and I ended up liking Civ 2 more.

This game is so addicting and foreign relations can turn into somewhat of a soap opera if you want (unless the senate gets in the way.) I'd definitely try and find this game and spend hours playing it.
