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

The best CIV game to date
Title says it all. Simply the one of the most engaging turn based games around, filled to the brim with thought provoking imagery, quotations and visions of the future wrapped up within a well made storyline. Amazing complexity for those who want it, genuinely different factions, and real consequences on your actions against them - and the planet itself - make this one of the best CIV games ever in my book, and indeed one of the best turn based strategy games ever made.

Best Sid Meier Game
This game is one of the best games ever. Deep, complex and very critical. Just stunning. But I miss here on GOG the expansion Alien Crossfire as well as the German translation.

Great Game!
I have felt the need to revisit this game more than any other I have ever played. Each time I still have a blast. I do often get confused why the later Civ games did not include some of AC's features.
