Alpha Centauri
Sid Meier doesn't know how to make a bad game. This has the 4X's, with very deep strategy. Turn based strategy at its best.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack
Description
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack includes the original Alpha Centauri and the expansion, Alien Crossfire.
Mankind begins its most monumental task: the colonization of space. A crew of internationally renowned scientists and security strategists, with wide-ranging convictions and diverse ethics, embarks on a mission that will change the world. One Planet. Seven unique factions. Which will you lead? Each faction has its own agenda, each leader a final goal. You must play to each strength and exploit each hidden weakness in your quest to rule the future.
Key features:
- Great spin-off of the legendary Civilization series, in a refreshing sci-fi setting
- Design your own units. Balance their speed, power, and toughness to suit your current tactical needs
- Seven factions to chose from, each with its own artificial intelligence model that creates a very suggestive feeling that you’re up against real people

Still great
After all the years since its release, this game stands the test of time. My only "gripe," perhaps, is that they could have included the expansion with this. Nonetheless, a lot of fun to play... again.

Great
I've been waiting for this game to be added. I'm hoping the expansion is added sometime soon as well! An easy 5-stars

Need Alien Crossfire!
I agree with proxymoron, definitely need Alien Crossfire to make this a 6-star game! I lent my copy of Alien Crossfire to a friend and never saw it again and haven't seen another copy available since then.
