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

One of the greatest games of all time
If you haven't played before you will likely be frustrated by the extremely dated interface and controls. I promise it is worth learning. Very few games nail the dynamics of grand strategy and Alpha Centauri does. Very few games could be used in a course on philosophy and Alpha Centauri could. If you aren't normally a consumer of science fiction please go in with an open mind.
