I just got his on a whim off of Steam (it was on sale for $14, bfd). I loved GCII, many, many years ago.
I've not played it yet (not even installed, goddamn Fallout 4/Far Harbor).
It's been a while since I've played a 4x game.
That being said, the GCII was a fuckin riot. I remember saying "fuck em" and not caring about my planets inhabitants' well-being, and ignoring all the "unhappy because of high pollution" while mass-producing my war machine.
Once they capped out production, I detonated the planetary self-destruct device, and said "thank you for your service".
Then I'd send a landing force of about 6000 mega tanks to other worlds, and annihilate them.
The aspect I liked about the other ones (not III, that I know of, read NOTHING about it), was the choice to play 1 of 4-5 different races, which had equally differing strategies (diplomacy, "fuck em all in the ass with a bat" brutality warmongering, etc).
If I can ever stop playing/get bored of Fallout, this is next on deck.
