The omitted phrase

"Though long outdated, I grew fascinated with this particular game" I suspected that the omitted phrase between though and long is "Civ 2 became" and is my guess correct? Thanks in advance!
The sentence is quoted from http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/uxpil/ive_been_playing_the_same_game_of_civilization_ii/

I think the intent is Civ 2 was . Without those words, however, the clause ( though long outdated ) is dangling, resulting in the meaning that the gamer was outdated rather than the game.

Sorry for one more question. What does the adverb long precisely mean in here?

It is long outdated = It has been outdated for a long time.

Thanks! So you can say "Though vinyls are long outdated, I still love them", correct?
