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

I'm still playing it.

It's the latter part of 2023 and I'm still playing this very old game. It still has its charm. It's almost unplayable on modern machines because of how dated it is, but if you install the UI mod, then you can play it with your screen's native resolution and have a smooth scrolling and zooming experience. It's the only CIV game I know that allows you to design your own unit. Wreak havoc with your custom-designed overgeared tank that para drops in front of your enemy's doorsteps and pumps them with harmful gas! It's a unique classic, and a must-have for all Sid Meier's fans.

Still the best

This is still the best Civilization game for me. And the addition of the expansion pack just makes it a must-buy for any strategy fan. The combination of depth, strategy and atmosphere keeps drawing me back to the game even today, and I can never get enough of the intrigue and setting of the game.
